Original text and translations

English text

O cruel maid, adieu, adieu!
Thy loss for ever I deplore:
A thousand griefs my path pursue,
And joy shall gild that path no more.
Lost to the world, of hope bereft,
I view my fate with streaming eyes;
By Love forgot, by friendship left,
By all deserted but my sighs.
