If I were to die today, 

Would you, darling, be okay? 

The love I feel

For you is real

And does not need a breath to stay. 

If the heavens were to shake, 

The earth beneath my feet to quake,

You mustn't fear

For me, my dear;

The life I led was for your sake.

Would you, sweetheart, kiss me so,

The way that you and I would know?

Your lips on mine,

My breath is thine;

Bid me peace after I go.

You needn't fear to please my love, 

For yours is mine in heaven above.

My love will live,

Your life, my gift. 

The thought of you will be enough.
