I Want to Die While You Love Me

I want to die while you love me,
  While yet you hold me fair,
While laughter lies upon my lips
  And lights are in my hair.

I want to die while you love me
  And bear to that still bed
Your kisses⁠—turbulent, unspent,
  To warm me when I’m dead.

I want to die while you love me
  Oh, who would care to live,
’Til love has nothing more to ask
  And nothing more to give.
