VIVAMUS
When thou didst give thy love to me,
Asking no more of gods or men
I vow'd I would contented be,
If Fate should grant us summers ten.
Asking no more of gods or men
I vow'd I would contented be,
If Fate should grant us summers ten.
But now that twice the term is sped,
And ever young my heart and gay,
I fear the words that then I said,
And turn my face from Fate away.
And ever young my heart and gay,
I fear the words that then I said,
And turn my face from Fate away.
To bid thee happily good-bye
I have no hope that I can see,
No way that I shall bravely die,
Unless I give my life for thee.
I have no hope that I can see,
No way that I shall bravely die,
Unless I give my life for thee.
1901.
