<<<>>> I lived for art, I lived for love, I never did harm to a living soul! With a secret hand I relieved as many misfortunes as I knew of. Ever in true faith My prayer Rose to the holy shrines. Ever in true faith I gave flowers to the altar. In the hour of grief Why, why, Lord, Why do you reward me thus? I gave jewels for the Madonna's mantle, And songs for the stars, in heaven, That shone forth with greater radiance. In the hour of grief Why, why, Lord Ah, why do you reward me thus?
