Mine to-night,

For tomorrow’s light

Our dream will end, and waking bring dull pain.

Oh! the happy past,

Far too sweet to last,

For ’tis decreed we shall not meet again.

In thy dear eyes

My heaven lies,

And yet forever I must say good-bye;

With your lips to mine,

And my heart to thine,

With this last embrace would God I could die.
