Rondeau No 2
No one will know how brightly she smiled
That it charmed her parents and beguiled
Those who loved her near home where she thrived
How she sang and danced, so full of life
How her innocent thoughts touched the world.
From now on, it will remain untold
What deeds they did, what insults they hurled
At her that caused an act of suicide;
No one will know ...
We have lost a beautiful child;
A destiny was rendered unfulfilled.
What she might have accomplished with her life
Who would have made her his precious wife
If she would have prospered and grown old
No one will know ...
