I'll Be a Tree

Pet?fi Sándor

I'll be a tree, if you are its flower,

Or a flower, if you are the dew—

I'll be the dew, if you are the sunbeam,

Only to be united with you.

My lovely girl, if you are the Heaven,

I shall be a star above on high;

My darling, if you are hell-fire,

To unite us, damned I shall die.
