From the Spanish. From the Cancioneros. II. Some day, some day

  • (Alguna Vez)
    By Cristóbal de Gastillejo


  • SOME day, some day,

    O troubled breast,

    Shalt thou find rest.

    If Love in thee

    To grief give birth,

    Six feet of earth

    Can more than he;

    There calm and free

    And unoppressed

    Shalt thou find rest.

    The unattained

    In life at last,

    When life is passed,

    Shall all be gained;

    And no more pained,

    No more distressed,

    Shalt thou find rest.
