IF THOU COULD LOVE ME

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
