Thy hand, Belinda - darkness shades me.Thy hand, Belinda - darkness shades me.
On thy bosom, let me rest.On thy bosom, let me rest.
More I would, but death invades me -More I would, but death invades me -
Death is now a welcome guest.Death is now a welcome guest.
When I am laid in earthWhen I am laid in earth
May my wrongs create no trouble in thy breast.May my wrongs create no trouble in thy breast.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
