Blasted Hopes by Leona Florentino

What gladness and what joyare endowed to one who is lovedfor truly there is one to shareall his sufferings and his pain.

My fate is dim, my stars so lowperhaps nothing to it can compare,for truly I do not doubtfor presently I suffer so.

For even I did love,the beauty whom I desirednever do I fully realizethat I am worthy of her.

Shall I curse the hourwhen first I saw the light of daywould it not have been better a thousand timesI had died when I was born.

Would I want to explainbut my tongue remains powerlessfor now do I clearly seeto be spurned is my lot.

But would it be my greatest joyto know that it is you I love,for to you do I vow and a promise I makeits you alone for whom I would lay my life.
