I Live, I Die, I Burn, I Drown
I live, I die, I burn, I drown
Suddenly I laugh and at the same time cry
Thus I suffer love's inconstancies
Then when I feel my joys certain
Delmira Agustini
I endure at once chill and cold
Life is at once too soft and too hard
I have sore troubles mingled with joys
And in pleasure many a grief endure
My happiness wanes and yet it lasts unchanged
All at once I dry up and grow green
And when I think the pain is most intense
Without thinking, it is gone again.
And my hour of greatest delight arrived
I find my pain beginning all over once again.
