Love
The Faithful Maiden
Translated by John Bowring (1830) · From Poetry of the Magyars (1830)
Love
I have made a part of mine,
All my loved one's being;
Trifling when he trifles,
Smiling when he smiles,
Mourning when he mourns,
And joyous when he joys;
But when he, forgetting me,
Frequent kiss to Phillis gives,
O, I weep, I weep.
