I'm sorry that I doubted you,
For love depends on trust.
The angry tide of jealousy
Retreats because it must.

How stupid it would be to lose
What I most want for fear
Of losing it! That irony
Is now to me quite clear.

So please don't worry that I might
Again be so untrue
To love as to betray the trust
My love has placed in you.
