Opkuiswerken na een wild feestje (III).

That daybreak full of gloom and gaiety
With woe and sympathy quite overset -
As long as in the world there is regret
I want called to mind perpetually.

It alone when delectably enamelled
It came forth and the world with light provided
Saw itself from another will divided
That cannot see its own self but entrammelled.
