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 lips
and lights are in my hair.
i want to die while you love me,
and bear in that still bed
your kisses turbulent, unspent,
to warm me when i'm dead.
i want to die while you love me
Oh, who would care to live
till love has nothing more to ask
and nothing more to give!
I want to die while you love me
and never, never see
the glory of this perfect day
grow dim or cease to be.
