1. Say not that I no longer love;
If I consent to part, blame me not.

2. You have not wronged me, for what is
Decreed for us, so beauty deemed.

3. Time passed since first we loved, till we
Grew old, my fair one; nay, till I grew old.

4. Much have I borne since the days of my youth;
Tears flood my cheeks and eyes.

5. My soul in darkness cannot see
Except by light of memories we made.

6. And when I look behind me I see
As if two ghosts that were us I see.
