The King And Queen

A vagrant singing, carrying his precious cartload, a sleeping girl:
 
 
With you beside me,
Living, sleeping in my cart;
Right there’s my palace, my paradise.
With you beside me,
Am I King.
The richest man seems poor to me.
 
 
The girl is mumbling in her sleep:

With you beside me,
Am I honored as a queen of queens.
With you beside me,
Hell doesn’t terrify me,
Nor do I wish to go to heaven
Save with you.
