Tempestuous Angel
We met a few brief moments, you and I;
We met, and those meetings there was born
Our fated loves. The glad days soon sped by
Till our commingled hearts were loathly torn
Roughly asunder, leaving us to yearn
Incessantly for sweets we cannot find.
Tempestuous angel!. How you made me burn
In self-fulfilling happiness of mind!.
What ecstasies we shared in that short space
We were together!.
All that, now, is past
And I may never see again your face
Shining with tenderness. I was downcast
Until I heard it told that all who truly love,
Though parted here on Earth, share joys in heaven above.
