O let me not lie
till the word has been broken
O let me not sigh
till my wounded heart has spoken
O let me not fall
till the streets I have walked
O let me not call
till I am ready to talk
O let me not wake
till I have dreamt
O let me not take
till I know for what 'tis meant
O let me not shed a tear
till my eyes have borne witness
O let me not despair
till I no longer feel the caress
O let me not abhor
till I have loved
O let me not wage a war
till I have been shoved
O let me not surrender
till I cannot feel
O let me not hopeless be rendered
till I have fastened the final seal
O let me not flee
till the torches have burned
O let me not cease to be
till I have seen, felt and learned.
