Yes, I know, this is nothing but thy love, O beloved of my heart -- this golden light that dances upon the leaves, these idle clouds sailing across the sky, this passing breeze leaving its coolness upon my forehead. The morning light has flooded my eyes -- this is thy message to my heart. Thy face is bent from above, thy eyes look down on my eyes, and my heart has touched thy feet.

Ich weiss, da ist nichts als deine Liebe Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Ich weiß, da ist nichts als deine Liebe, Geliebter du meines Herzens - das goldene Licht, dass über die Blätter tanzt, die müßigen Wolken, die durch den Himmel segeln, der sanfte Windhauch, der seine Kühle auf meiner Stirn lässt. Das Morgenlicht überflutet mein Auge - das ist die Botschaft von dir an mein Herz. Dein Antlitz beugt sich herab, deine Augen schauen auf die meinen, und mein Herz berührt deine Füße.
