I loved you: and, perhaps, the feeling
Has not completely lost intense;
But let it nevermore cause you inconvenience;
I don’t want to sadden you by this uncomfortable sense.
I loved you silently and hope without,
Suffering with jealousy or misery sometimes;
I loved you so sincerely, so tenderly,
God bless you to be loved by someone else so much.

Within my sole has not completely burned away;
But let it bother you no further;
I don’t want to sadden you in any way.
I loved you silently and hope without,
Languishing with jealousy or shyness with;
I loved you so sincerely, so tenderly,
God bless you to be loved by someone else like this.
