A
final farewell to you,
Lofty
palace,
The
cold tomb of my angel!
You
are not worthy to protect her!
Oh damn!
Oh vile seducer!
And
you, Virgin Mary, did you stand by,
While
her virginal crown was taken?
Ah! What
am I saying? Lunatic!
Ah, forgive
me!
The
wounded spirit of a sad parent
Was
kept in the agony of shame and grief.
Give
her, o heaven, a martyr’s garland.
Yield
her to the splendour of the angels,
Pray
for me, Mary.
Nicolai
