O love, my love, O my love and my love,
I love you with all my heart!

You think you are well on your journey
Before you start.

My love, and my love, O love, O my love,
I love you with all my soul!

Wait till the bride-months go by
And the years roll. . . .

And my love, O love, O my love, my love,
I am ever and utterly yours!

You must find out what passes in love
To find out what endures.

O my love, my love, O love and my love,
I shall never love any but you!

Ah! to tell you my wisdom!
But what good would it do?
