My Rondel - Alexandru Macedonski

When I was hatred I was great,
While I, today, all things above,
Am great - great for I feel I'm love,
Great for with Lethe I share the fate.

Yes, mercilessness makes you great,
But high you fly, high like a dove
When nothing is your heart but love,
When mercy does your soul elate.

I konw: all things bear sorrow's weight,
Through life in ignorance we rove,
But every solace is in love,
And even if distress be great,
Elation is: forgive, forget.
