I had often heard the song before, and always with lively delight; for Bessie had a sweet voice,--at least, I thought so. But now, though her voice was still sweet, I found in its melody an indescribable sadness.
Le había oído a menudo cantar lo mismo y me agradaba mucho. Bessie tenía -o me lo parecía- una voz muy dulce, pero entonces yo creía notar en su acento una tristeza indescriptible.
