Love at Death

(Act V Scene V)

Goodbye, my dearest, I am going to die...

...perhaps today

My heart is full of love I've never spoken,

And now - to die. My eyes, my doting looks

Shall never, never more...

Alight like kisses on your slightest gesture -

As when you touch your forehead - there - like that -

I can see it now, and I want to cry out...

And I do, I do cry out

Goodbye for ever, darling, sweetheart, treasure...

My dearest love

My heart is yours,

Has always been and will be, now and for ever

Loving you above all things...
