• If grief for grief can touch thee,
    If answering woe for woe,
    If any truth can melt thee
    Come to me now!

    I cannot be more lonely,
    More drear I cannot be!
    My worn heart beats so wildly
    'Twill break for thee--

    And when the world despises--
    When Heaven repels my prayer--
    Will not mine angel comfort?
    Mine idol hear?

    ...
