I love the dawn in beauty beaming,
The silver land, the radiant sea,
Because it wakes your soul from dreaming,
And gives you back to life and me.
I love the birds that carol over us,
The flowers that wake in wood and lea,
They tell me life is sweet before us,
And I for you and you for me!
And tell me life is sweet before us,
And I for you, and I for you,
And you for me!
I love the night so deep and tender,
The burning stars, the tranced blue,
Because I come in sweet surrender,
Because I give myself to you.
Because I feel your arms around me,
Because I see your dear eyes shine,
Because I know that love has crowned me,
And I am yours and you are mine.
Because I know that love has crowned me,
And I am yours, and I am yours,
And you are mine, and I am yours,
And you are mine!
