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
Marry my body to that dust.

To meet thee in that hollow vale.

To love each other, with which thoughts the day
Rose with delight to us, and with them set,
Must learn the hateful art, how to forget.

The spring entombed in autumn lies;
The dew dries up; the star is shot;
The flight is past; and man forgot.

Beats my approach, tells thee I come.

And view ourselves with clearer eyes
In that calm region where no night
Can hide us from each other's sight.
