“Be bold, be bold, but not too bold,
Lest your heart’s blood should run cold.”
Darling, darling, trust me dear
My words are true and my heart is clear
(Only for you I’ve waited years)
take my hand and hold me close
you are the one I love the most
take this ring if you'll be so kind
Soon you shall leave your old life behind
Unburdened by the weight of the past,
I pray this one love be my last
But do not wander; any more than this
Is far much more than I can promise
My doors are closed; you must not see
or I shall shut thy eyes for thee
Lest your heart’s blood should run cold.”
