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 a 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
