"I Came No Freely"

I came no freely
To lose myself in the abyss
Such Is where cruel Luck
Wlshed me to be...

Why fled ye
False and lowly hopes
When the course wished
To take me...

Pity! Stay a while longer
Against my breast.. ,oh!
With no other arm
How our tears
Our changed appearances
Are blind and deaf
How our tears
Pale and bereft
Our Changed appearances
Are blind and deaf
I came not freely
But, in vain, i seek
The shore... ln oblivion
In oblivion..,

Pity! Stay a while longer
Against my breast., ,oh!

Our appearances are changed
By you... Oh why?
