I fear not death, but death without rebirth For how'll I'll doubly miss the southern spring; The flowers past and future petal'd earth Would sprout in distant plays of everything. If far from view, then even worse a - fate, As I without a touch will too not see; The blossoms of my land and gentled mate; For she does loves the spring as beauty; she. Tho' be with heaven's angel's, high and sweet Without my love and spring I'd barely breathe; In yearn for her below and petal's treat, Then best let I just lay with dirt my sheathe.
But wake me into light when she too passed For into heaven, she'll bring spring to last.
