Against the bloody bud of those lips
So dark the locks of ebony sway
Let loose through this rose your witty quips
Strengthen our love against the affray
So forbidden our love hides hidden
Beneath their naïve ignorance
The truth spills out so unbidden
Becoming another hindrance
'Tis not all luminous on our path
For we are long-time finished my love
We shall never bring the Father's wrath
Duty has summoned to free the dove
But in the end you still love me so
Praying to God that I will not go
