Love me if I live
Language: English
Love me if I live! Love me if I die! What to me is life or death, So that thou be nigh? Once I loved thee rich, Now I love thee poor; Ah! what is there I could not For thy sake endure? Kiss me for my love! Pay me for my pain! Come! and murmur in my ear How thou lov'st again!
