Hélène
... stAnd you before the hearth will be a bowed old wife,Regretful for my love and your disdainful pride ...
In Memoriam "Rover", Ob. July 2, 1902
... dark beyond,Nor doubt somewhen beyond the stars to findThe soul that lay those looks of thine behind ...
Quia Multum Amavit
... she sinks downInto hell's depths, and with a pious frown,Leave her to struggle in the devil's clutch ...
Rondeau Redoublé
... : Love is my lord, in all the world's despite,And holdeth in the hollow of his hand My day and night ...
The Rose
... Spring yet flowers and life's yearIs in its rathest green for you,Cull, cull the roses of your youth ...
The Smoker
... d awayThan needs forthright I must my high estate down-layAnd all my old annoys pass over in my mind ...
To the Hawthorn-tree
... songster nightingale, Of Love's ailHim to solace and allay,Suing to his mistress dear, Year by year ...
Winter in the Alps
... this land:His anger spareth it, nor ever thunder-birth,To desolate its days, departed from his hand ...
