And cold and unperturbed shall lie
When Night doth pace our earth again.
And thou, dear love, if thou should'st weep,
And if thy heart with anguish break,
From sweet sad dreams thy solace take
And lose thy pain in painless sleep.
Kiss me, dear love, for I must die
And cold and unperturbed shall lie."
Kiss me, dear friend, for now I feel
That thou art as a glimpse of God;
