Love, I have won you and held you
In a lifelong quickening dream;
When the meadows sprang fair with flowers
And the river was a all a gleam.

Warm shone the sunlight around us,
And clear were the skies above,
Till the stars peep'd forth in the twilight,
And the moon rose pale with love.

Love[,] I have won you and held you,
Life has no more to give,
Then come to me here in the sunshine,
It is summer, ah, let us live!
