Piano Sonata No. 3 In F Minor, Op. 14: Ii. Scherzo. Molto Commodo

Sleep, and I'll be still as another sleeper
Holding you in my arms, glad that you lie
So near at last
This sheltering midnight is our meeting place
No passion or despair or hope divide
Me from your side
I shall remember firelight on your sleeping face
I shall remember shadows growing deeper
As the fire fell to ashes and the minutes passed
