Thomasina Ross translation

For example:—

O alma venturosa, Que del humano velo Libre al alta region viva volaste, Dexando en tenebrosa Carcel de desconsuelo Mi vida, aunque contigo la llevaste! Sin tí, escura dexaste La luz clara del dia, Por tierra derribada La esperanza fundada En al mas firme asiento de alegria: En fin con tu partida Quedó vivo el dolor, muerta la vida.
