English · Translation
I loved thee; and perchance until this moment
Within my breast is smouldering still the fire!
Yet I would spare thy pain the least renewal,
Nothing shall rouse again the old desire!

I loved thee with a silent desperation—
Now timid, now with jealousy brought low,
I loved devoutly,—with such deep devotion—
Ah may God grant another love thee so!
Martha Gilbert Dickinson Bianchi, 1916
