Since I first saw him, I think myself blind I look around me, and it's only him I see His image floats before me, So gentle and so kind, he has got a clear mind and firm courage o ring upon my finger, little golden ring devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle I serve him and live for him Belong wholly to him Give myself and find myself transfigured by his brightness Ring upon my finger, little golden ring Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart The blissful dream of childhood has ended Now I drink delicious death with you my love Now you have me caused me my first pain … that really hurt. You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls You, my whole world.
