Songs from The Gardener - Do Not Go, My Love

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.
