| O my hero, my beloved,
|
| Shall we still be made to part,
|
| Though promises of perennial love
|
| Yet sing here in my heart?
|
| I’m the darkness, you’re the starlight
|
| Shining brightly from afar.
|
| Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer
|
| To you, my evening star.
|
| Must my final vows exchanged
|
| Be with him and not with you?
|
| Were you only here To quiet my fear…
|
| O speak! |
| Guide me anew.
|
| Come, Maria! |
| Dance with me…
|
| I am thankful, my beloved,
|
| For your tenderness and grace.
|
| I see in your eyes, so gentle and wise,
|
| All doubts and fears erased!
|
| Though the hours take no notice
|
| Of what fate might have in store,
|
| Our love, come what may, will never age a day.
|
| I’ll wait forevermore! |
