'Tis done! -- I saw [it]1 in my dreams; No more with Hope the future beams; My days of happiness are few: Chill'd by misfortune's wintry blast, My dawn of life is overcast; Love Hope, and Joy, alike adieu! Would I could add Remembrance too!
Confirmed with The Poetical Works of Lord Byron, London: Oxford University Press Humphrey Milford, 1933, page 38.

Ich hört’s im Traum: “ ’s ist aus mit dir!“ Nicht länger leuchtet Hoffnung mir; die Tage meines Glücks gezählt: Von Unglücks eis’ger Hand regiert mein junges Leben jäh erfriert; Freud’, Liebe, Hoffnung aus der Welt! Hätt’ gern Erinn’rung zugesellt!
