Within my heart is love, profound
It has me tortured, overcome and bound.

It is so strong, that I dare say
That it is meant, it is the way.

Person, inclination and soul say yes
I shall never give my love no less.

For me to be yours, and you for me
Is all I ask, for me to be.

My desire for you is vehement, with thoughts inflamed
I feel the passion, so full and pained.

Please return the love, I beg of you
It's all I ask of you to do.

Beneath my bosom, beyond my eyes
I speak of truth, and bring forth no lies.

Do not deny, do not withhold
Let me see your heart unfold.

Inside of you I do perceive
What makes you live and I to grieve.

WIthin my heart is love, profound
It has me taken and I'm confound.
