Love is a rose
Fair, fair to see, 
Ο sweet disclose,
Love's heart to me.
Love is a star, 
Golden and bright, 
Lead me, dear one, 
In to love's light

Thou whom I love, 
In my despair, 
Love's pity prove, 
Archangels raise 
Their songs above, 
And pray'r and praise, 
Are lost in love.
Thou art my pray'r, 
Thou whom I love.

Love is a grief
Glooming the soul, 
Sorrow's relief,
Is pit y's dole.
Love is a pain, 
Love is a strife, 
Love's sad refrain, 
Fills all my life. 

Thou art my pray'r,...
