<p class="margin-b">
You are a roseate autumn-sky, that glows!<br/>
Yet sadness rises in me like the flood,<br/>
And leaves in ebbing on my lips morose,<br/>
The poignant memory of its bitter mind.<br/>
<br/>
In vain your hands my swooning breast embrace,<br/>
Oh, friend! alone remains the plundered spot,<br/>
Where woman's biting grip has left its trace:<br/>
My heart, the beasts devoured--seek it not!<br/>
<br/>
My heart is a palace pillaged by the herd;<br/>
They kill and take each other by the throat!<br/>
A perfume glides around your bosom bared--<br/>
<br/>
O loveliness, thou scourge of souls--devote<br/>
Thine eyes of fire--luminous-like feasts,<br/>
To burn these rags--rejected by the beasts!<br/></p>
