(I Prithee) Do Not Ask for Love

And is it so, once more thou art returning?
 
 Hast thou lost thy way as once before?
 I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be
 I shall not be thy refuge once more
 Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
 And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery
 But I shan't hear thee as before
 I prithee, do not ask for love once more
 ♪
 So go my way, and soon I shall go likewise
 And if thy path be high, then be mine low
 Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not
 For soon they shall be covered with snow
 Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
 And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery
 But I shan't hear thee as before
 I prithee, do not ask for love once more
 
 I prithee, do not ask for love once more
