His thought so sweetly straying br And captive in beauteous disarms of one; br His anguish gaze unconscious crying, br When atone moment lurk and gone. br br For him despair as ardent slave br Bids no sin defy the soul; br The mortal visions on abyss grave br Defined reign of heaven role. br br All his penance deficient surely, br But heaven sprung affection unbounded; br A tender beam in hue shone not purely br Save him, who is guilty on sins unfounded.
