Do you with your man
      alone not, as I,
lay restless, turning,
      unclosing eye?

He lays next to you
      where I long to be,
I lie awake
      he sleeps peacefully.

Oh, whispering eyes
      oh, fleeting glance,
forbidden love
      stays no advance.

Too painful heights
      our love's torments
on lonely nights
      knows no relent.

Oh, endless nights
     alone I be
'til you or death
     lies next to me.

Do you my love,
     alone not, as I,
lay restless, turning,
     unclosing eye?
