I rise with the early morning dew
  still sparkling on new-born grass
  you will pass by in full view
  in glory no girl could surpass.

  I tried and struggled to forget you
  too weak was my will to trust
  every night is torment and every day is blue
  all my dreams sadly fade and turn to dust.

  I wrote with a heart pure and true
my life for you I will readily cast
this passion consumes and I can't subdue
  but I know for eternity it will last.

  I am dying and can't rise with the early morning dew
  you will marry someone as every sweet girl must
  yet my heart will forever enshrine you
  though I sleep unquiet under the forgotten grass.
