May you drink from my cup
And you, from mine
It is for you I fill it up
It is for you I love to live
May you drink deep
May you drink up
May you hold me as I sleep
May you sleep safe and sound
When the sun is burning hot
And the wind is blowing strong
May you find peace in my love
When the moon is out of sight
When the stars are no longer bright
May I serve you, my heart, your light
—
Take Thy Oath from My Cup
Drink deep of my blood
Fill thy cup with crimson life
Let the red sea lead you
Find my heart in that cup
I have filled for thee
Hold it close when you weep
It will take on thy pain
Forget thy many miseries
Sleep beneath the scarlet sky
When the hundred nights are through
I will claim the same from you
