Black curtains draw; my bride is laid. 80

Sleep on, my Love, in thy cold bed

Never to be disquieted!

My last good night! Thou wilt not wake

Till I thy fate shall overtake:

Till age, or grief, or sickness must 85

Marry my body to that dust

It so much loves; and fill the room

My heart keeps empty in thy tomb.

Stay for me there; I will not fail
