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 tomorrow
- 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)
