English text
- If thou wouldst east thine heart
- Of love and all its smart,
- Then sleep, dear! Sleep !
- And not a sorrow hang
- any tear on thine eyelashes;
- Lie still and deep sad soul!
- Until the seawave washes
- the rim of the sun to morrow
- In Eastern sky.
- But wouldst thou cure thine heart
- Of love and all its smart
- Then die, dear, die.
- 'Tis deeper sweeter
- Than on a rose bank to lie dreaming
- With tranced eye
- And then alone
- Amid the beaming of Love's stars
- thou'lt greet her in Eastern sky.
- Lyrics: Thomas Lovell Beddoes - (1803-1849)
