< < < If I can stop one heart from breaking
If I should die > > >

If I may have it when it’s dead

If I may have it when it’s dead

   I will contented be;

If just as soon as breath is out

   It shall belong to me,

Until they lock it in the grave,

   ‘T is bliss I cannot weigh,

For though they lock thee in the grave,

   Myself can hold the key.

Think of it, lover! I and thee

   Permitted face to face to be;

After a life, a death we’ll say, —

   For death was that, and this is thee.
