Remember me in kindness when I'm feverish with sorrow.
Wake me not, but let me sleep,
The night has secrets it should keep,
Don't let me know the tears I'll weep; they'll keep until tomorrow.
Love is strong as death, they say, and not by rivers washed away,
Be with me, heart and soul, I pray,
Forever my beloved.
The truth, now clothed in dark of night, will naked stand in morning's light,
The cruel sun will e'er shine bright to mock me without mercy.
Take me to your heart, my friend, and never more depart again,
My love, I'll render without end,
Forever my beloved. (forever my beloved)
Forever my beloved.
