If they’re to call our love a sin
Then how can any one of us win?
If our union is doomed to fail
Let’s throw love to the wind and sail

In death do we part just the same
As angry mobs have us now do
Life’s oft a bitter lonely game
Unless one and one can make two

If the love now between us fails
It won’t be from their vain assails
You and I are no different
If only the truth was transparent

In courts our union is declined
As hecklers scream for our demise
I implore them please, open your eyes
To the charm’d bond of love’s design

In life we carry on just as
Two hearts in a romance sublime
In death do we part just as
Them and theirs also do in time
