I remember at night we were stained with dew
And shamed into silence by the innumerable stars
And the gods watching from above
But some pangs are too sharp
Some griefs are too deep
Some ecstasies too high
For an immortal mind to fathom
My doubts were consumed by your ravenous strength
And I offered no resistance.
If we are indeed damned like the dead leaves of autumn
Let them know this: I was loved by you
The Void may take me
Those over the sea may refuse to receive me
And even in the gardens of peace it may be I will find no forgiveness
Yet in all my long life I was loved by you
I loved you
And we burned together if only once
If only for an instant.
