__I Loved You...__ I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul The former love has never gone away , But let it not recall to you my dole ; I wish not sadden you in any way.

I loved you silently, without hope, fully, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain ; I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.

__Awakening__ O dreams, my dreams, Where is your sweetness? Where are you, Joy of nightly fleetness? They're gone away- My fancies, gay, An now alone In darkness grown I, sleepless, stay.

A mute night hovers My bed above In a flash lone Turned cool and gone Dreams of my love, Like a tense crowd. But still hearts bears The longings' sound And catches bits Of dreams around.

Love, hear my plea , Hark to my prayer : Send back to me Your visions, fair , And by morn sky, Again enchanted, Let...Let me die Still unawaken'd

__A Wish__  The days drag on, each moment multiplies Within my wounded heart the pain and sadness Of an unhappy love and, dark, gives rise. To sleepless dreams, the haunting dreams of madness But I do not complain - instead, I weep; Tears bring me solace, comforted they leave me. My spirit, captive held by grief, a deep. And bitter rapture finds in them, believe me. Pass, life! Come, empty phantom, onward fly. And in the silent void of darkness vanish. Dear it to me my love's unending anguish; If as I die I love, pray let me die.
