Ill Fate
Richard Wagner (1813-1883), The Valkyrie 1.2.188-192 (tr. Andrew Porter):

Ill fate lay on me.
For what I thought was right,
others reckoned was wrong,
and what seemed to me bad,
others held to be good.
Unheil lag auf mir.
Was Rechtes je ich riet,
andern dünkte es arg,
was schlimm immer mir schien,
andre gaben ihm Gunst.
