A Woman's Devotion Unveiled: Transcending Love's Joy and Sorrow
Lyrics
Since I first saw him, I think myself blind
Expressing intense infatuation upon first seeing him, metaphorically feeling blinded by his presence.
I look around me and it's only him I see
Surrounded by others, but attention is solely focused on him, emphasizing his significance.
His image floats before me so gentle and so kind
His image is vividly present in her thoughts, described as gentle and kind.
He has got a clear mind and firm courage
Attributes of a clear mind and firm courage are admired in him.
Oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring
Addressing a golden ring on her finger, symbolizing commitment or marriage.
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart
Expressing deep affection by pressing the ring to her lips and heart, signifying a connection to love.
Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear
Calling on sisters for support, asking to dispel irrational fears.
Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle
Symbolic imagery of adorning her brow with blossoming myrtle, possibly representing marital happiness.
I serve him and live for him belong wholly to him
Declaring devotion and a sense of belonging entirely to him, living for his presence.
Give myself and find myself, transfigured by his brightness
Committing to giving herself entirely and experiencing transformation through his brightness or influence.
Ring upon my finger, little golden ring
Repetition of the golden ring, emphasizing the significance of the commitment it represents.
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart
Reiterating the deep affection for the ring, emphasizing the connection to the heart.
The blissful dream of childhood has ended
Mourning the end of an idyllic childhood dream, now embracing a different reality with her love.
Now I drink delicious death with you my love
Metaphorically embracing a metaphorical "delicious death" with her love, possibly symbolizing intense passion.
Now you have me caused me my first pain, that really hurt
Expressing concern for her love who sleeps deeply, possibly a metaphor for emotional detachment or unawareness.
You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death
Symbolic imagery of veils falling, bells tolling, and carriages rolling, possibly indicating the end of something significant.
The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls
Describing the beloved as her entire world, emphasizing the centrality of his presence in her life.
You, my whole world
