richard burton - the legacie lyrics

Loading...

when last i died, and, dear, i die
as often as from thee i go
though it be but an hour ago
—and lovers’ hours be full eternity—
i can remember yet, that i
something did say, and something did bestow;
though i be dead, which sent me, i might be
mine own executor, and legacy

i heard me say, “tell her anon
that myself,” that is you, not i
” did k!ll me,” and when i felt me die
i bid me send my heart, when i was gone;
but i alas ! could there find none;
when i had ripp’d, and search’d where hearts should lie
it k!ll’d me again, that i who still was true
in life, in my last will should cozen you

yet i found something like a heart
but colours it, and corners had;
it was not good, it was not bad
it was entire to none, and few had part;
as good as could be made by art
it seem’d, and therefore for our loss be sad
i meant to send that heart instead of mine
but o ! no man could hold it, for ’twas thine
