1. All for me
Language: English
2. I love you dearly, O my sweet!  [sung text not yet checked]
Language: English
I love you dearly, O my sweet! Although you pass me lightly by, Although you weave my life awry, And tread my heart beneath your feet. I tremble at your touch; I sigh To see you passing down the street; I love you dearly, O my sweet! Although you pass me lightly by. You say in scorn that love's a cheat, Passion a blunder, youth a lie. I know not. Only when we meet I long to kiss your hand and cry, "I love you dearly, O my sweet, Although you pass me lightly by."

- by Justin Huntly McCarthy (1859 - 1936), "Rondel"
