I Want to Die While You Love Me
I want to die while you love me,While yet you hold me fair,While laughter lies upon my lipsAnd lights are in my hair.
I want to die while you love meAnd bear to that still bedYour kisses—turbulent, unspent,To warm me when I'm dead.
I want to die while you love meOh, who would care to live,'Til love has nothing more to askAnd nothing more to give.
