Sweet Nurse
Jonas Renkse
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
