Heinous barbarity
        What I have done,
A moment’s weakness—see
        Three month’s work gone!

I tried to keep my cool
        Eyes on sublime,
But dashed it like a fool,
        One moment’s crime.

Naught but to pick the pieces
        Up and renew
Effort though this increases
        Burden by rue.
