Do not go, my love, without asking my leave. 

I have watched all night, and now my eyes are heavy with sleep. 

I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping. 

Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.

I start up and stretch my hands to touch you. I ask myself, "Is it a dream?" 

Could I but entangle your feet with my heart and hold them fast to my breast! 

Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
