If thou my love, you'd take from me
I'd beg a boon of thee
to send my passions upward toward the sky
and set my spirit free
If thought in all your grandest spleandor
should take me by the hand
we'd fly to kingdoms high above
this earthly realm
to one sweet eternal land
If thou could love me just one time
we'd let our passions sing
and my heart would burst
from in my breast
to hear this glad refrain
If perchance your lips should touch my own
I'd cling to only you
and I'd beg you then
to light a fire with in my brain
and let it burn me through
If thou my love would take from me
I'd beg a boon of thee
to bind me fast
with bars and chains
and never set me free
