Original text and translations

From “Ethwald” by Joanna Baillie (1762-1852), Act V scene II

Once upon my cheek

He said the roses grew,

But now they're washed away

With the cold evening dew.

For I wander through the night,

When all but me have rest,

And the moon's soft beams fall piteously

Upon my troubled breast.
