The forsaken maiden
Richard Gompertz
Confusion!
Delusion!
My heart is numb;
My life is illusion,
Yet death will not come.
'Tis vanished
And banished,
What all was mine!
'Tis banished and vanished,
The love I deemed divine.
I trusted
And lusted
To him, my love,
And he whom I trusted,
Must he a traitor prove?
Confusion!
Delusion!
My heart is numb;
My life is illusion,
Yet death will not come.
