"Oh, beauty, oh, sweet soul, oh, little love of ours--

"Michael, my own heart's darling, speak; it's me,

Mary. You know my voice. I'm here, dear, here.

Oh, little golden-haired one, listen. See,

It's Mary, Michael. Speak to Mary, dear.

Oh, Michael, little love, he cannot hear;

And you have killed him, Lion; he is dead.

My little friend, my love, my Michael, golden head.

"We had such fun together, such sweet fun,

My love and I, my merry love and I.
