Love and life
You twins that roam all over the earth
As twins come to my heart
And fill my heart with ceaseless merth
For you are all in all.
What good is it to be alive
And own the strength of almost five
When love is far away ?
Or love when it is too late
Or when you have been led by fate
To your last passing day ?
Happy are they who love with truth
Who love for love's own sake
Who full at heart the gush of youth
and of it's joy partake
Their is the world with all it's bloom
unmarred by sadness or by gloom.
To them life looks so real:-
So full of charms, of joy and bliss-
Naught of its beauty would they miss
And wounds, once deep ,would heal.
And if my fairy would be kind
To grant me wishes three-
It is love I ask for, love to bind
my heart and soul with Thee!
Then life, sweet heart, then both again
That you and I may lead a turn
Of ever lasting fun.-
Thus if the winds are cold and bleak
To you I come, it is vain to seek
That warming earthly sun
