The Gardener XXXIV: 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'm
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.
