With a thud snapped one guitar string
And its echo met, ere dying
Near the vaulted arch, the echo
Of the knight's deep heavy sighing.
Now they merged, to sound together
Through the heart of Roderigo,
Sounded through the hall and chamber,
Flew betwixt the endless ages,
Still resound within my bosom
With love's torment, pain and longing,
Satanella! Satanella!
