by Samuel Minturn Peck (1854 - 1938)

All for You
Language: English 
The love in my heart is as strong as the hills, 
And as deep as the fathomless sea,
Yet pure as the breath of the rose that thrills 
The soul of summer with glee;
’Tis faithful and fair as the light of the stars, 
That beam in the boundless blue; 
No selfish note its radiance mars, 
And Sweetheart, ’tis all for you


This love in my heart, I know not why, 
Nor how it came to be, 
But the bliss that is mine no gold can buy, 
Since love hath come to me
Oh, there is nothing so sweet, 
Go search all the wide world through, 
My heart is so full of it, ev'ry beat 
Cries out, 'tis all for you, 
Yes, for you strong and true, 
Till the angels doubt, and the stars burn out, 
Oh Love, ’tis all for you
