"But, mother, now a shade has past, Athwart my brightest visions here, A cloud of darkest gloom has wrapt, The remnant of my brief career!
Mais à présent, ma mère, une ombre est tombée sur mes plus brillantes visions ; un sombre brouillard a couvert ce qui reste de ma courte carrière !

Sa détresse, à cette pensée, devint si déchirante qu'il poussa un gémissement, une de ces courtes plaintes arrachées à la gorge par les douleurs trop vives.
