To force me home my mother sought : She could not bear to see my joy, For with my father's life 'twas bought, And made me a poor orphan boy.

For pardon (most, alas ! denied, When pardon...

" The people's shouts were long and loud, My mother, shuddering, closed her ears ; 'Rejoice! rejoice!' still cried the crowd ; My mother answered with her tears.

Seite 148 - Yet sometimes deign, midst fairer maids, To think on her thou leav'st behind. Thy love, thy fate, dear youth, to share, Must never be my happy lot ; But thou mayst grant this humble prayer, Forget me not ! forget me not ! Yet, should the thought of my distress Too painful to thy feelings be, Heed not the wish I now express, Nor ever deign to think on me...
