For [My] Fiancé pg. 7

For [My] Fiancé

As fresh as a May morning

As beautiful as a rainbow in Heaven

I’m picking for you a rose for a wreath

[A rose] like you, beloved

But your eye prophesizes this to me:

That you will be more lasting than a rose

            At dawn, somewhere in Heaven

            A most beautiful little star

            And on Earth, who knows where above you,

            Dearest maiden

With this my heart gladdens

That beats for you

I have hope that also yours

Hides love for me

            Accept today this confession

            From your beloved

            Refuse to let your heart stop beating

Until tomorrow, until morning
