First Line: One time I grieved; I shivered as in fright
Last Line: "not in your wrath, god's noblest blessing spurn."
Subject(s): Grief; Love; Passion; Sorrow; Sadness
One time I grieved; I shivered as in fright
At cold words spoke by love's usurpéd right.
To me all trembling, spake the faithful Night:
"Why grieve that Love in ardor spake so stern;
The purest flame may in its white heat burn;
Not in your wrath, God's noblest blessing spurn."
