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;
