Sweet Nurse

O my sweet nurse Pull the curtain aside for a while So that I can for once have The sun in my eye You smile and say It's a fine day O my sweet nurse Pull the curtain aside for a while Then like a ghost at night You come around all dressed in white Talking to me And so I have to drink The water with your poison spilled For no more will O my sweet nurse Seems you have so little time That you rather put Me to sleep than sit by my side
