Forgiven.
I might have met his anger with a smile For so it was that I had set my heart To mask deception with a wanton's guile, And save the tears that now begin to start. I might have worn my guilty crown of thorn,-- Yea, even worn it gladly like a prize; But, oh! more bitter than his rage or scorn, He left me with forgiveness in his eyes.
