II.
Signos at planetas nañga saan cayo
Yoao cametayan ñgaioy sumaclodo
Anhin coi ang huhay sa pamahong ito
Valaring halaga oong ang sintay lito.
III.
Mahintai hintaica ih un macamatai
Itun pinatai mo con paghalican
Indi co namauica acoy pagluisan
Ijelit mo laman tatavina jncai.
I.
To know is to remember thee;
And yet in grief I rove,
Because thou wilt not fathom me,
Nor feel how much I love.
II.
All traitors are the stars on high—
For broken hopes I grieve:
I cannot live—I fain would die;
’Tis misery to live.
III.
Sweet bird! yet flutter o’er my way,
And chant thy victim’s doom;
Be thine, be thine the funeral lay
That consecrates my tomb.
