Original Narrative:
IT is the last token of love and of thee!
Thy once faith is broken, thou false one to me.
I think on the letters with which I must part;
Too dear are the fetters which wind round my heart.

Thy words were enchanted, and ruled me at will
My spirit is haunted, remembering them still.
So earnest, so tender-the full heart was there;
Ah! Song might surrender its lute in despair.

I deemed that I knew thee as none ever knew;
That 'twas mine to subdue thee, and thine to be true.
I deemed to my keeping thy memory had brought
The depths that were sleeping of innermost thought.
