I love you, and because I love
I walk a world enchanted;
There is no gift that I could crave
But destiny has granted.
For with the boon of love and you
It gave a happy blindness,
That cannot see but good and joy
And gentleness and kindness.

So through the turmoil of the world,
Whatever cares come after,
I'l1 count its blows as courtesy
Its bitterness as laughter.
My hope and faith in life from me
No stroke of fate can sever,
For life itself dwells in my heart,
Since love is mine for ever.
