[You my] happiness that remained,
move closer, my faithful love.
Evening is setting in the grove—
you are my light and day.
Anxiously heart beats against heart—
hope soars heavenward.
How true, a sad song.
The song of the faithful lover
who must die.
I know the song.
I heard it often in younger,
in better days....
It has another verse—
do I still know it?
Though grim sorrow may approach,
move closer, my true love.
Incline your pale face—
death will not separate us.
If you must leave me one day,
trust there is an afterlife.
