Penance 'Twas just last year—I heard two lovers pass

So near, I caught the tender words he said:

To-night the rain-drenched breezes sway the grass

Above his head.

That night full envious of his life was I,

That youth and love should stand at his behest;

To-night, I envy him, that he should lie

At utter rest. [21]
