The Last Time I Came Oer The Moor
the last time i came o'er the moor the last time i came o'er the moor, a maria's dwelling, what throes, what tortures passing cure, were in my bosom swelling: n'd to see my rival's reign, while i i languish; to feel a fire in every vein, yet dare not speak my anguish. love's veriest wretch, despairing, i fain, fain, my crime would cover; th' uing groan, the bursting sigh, betray the guilty lover. i know my doom must be despair, thou wilt nor st relieve me; but oh, maria, hear my prayer, for pity's sake five me! the music of thy tongue i heard, nor wist while it enslav'd me; i saw thine eyes, yet nothing fear'd, till fear no more had sav'd me: the unwary sailor thus, aghast, the wheeling torrent viewing, 'mid cirg horrors yields at last to overwhelming ruin.
