If I die, let your angelic name be my last gaping breath.

Nothing more in this world
For which I would desire most
Than to hold you in my arms
And own you as mine alone

You have taught my heart to love
Which unknown to me before
You gave me strength and fervor
In times I was forlorn

But your past clouds over you,
A past which must be let to go
For it hounds you in your dreams
And tails on you while awake

It often leads you to err.
And always put you in fear.
To give your love once again,
And let a man ease your pains,

Oh, what is life here on earth?
If not lived in its fullest?
Why let anxiety linger,
When hope is there smiling?

I’m always here Artemis,
Willing to reach out for you.
Allow me to dry your tears,
And give the best I can do.

For you alone are my joy,
You have strengthened my soul.
In you I’ve found my real bliss,
My angel, my love, my friend

If God would only permit,
And grants what for long, I begged.
To share with you all the rest,
Of my Life I am to live,

But if fate becomes unkind
And time so unholy comes,
That I die in others arms,
Let my s’prit kiss your hands

Allow my fading heart beats,
To throb in our sweet memories,
And let your angelic name,
Be my final gaping breath.
