Break in the flood-tide that murmurs and flows,

I love you, I love you, I love you.

This is our love in early June,

Fed with the sun and the dew,

Moonlight and roses hid in a tune,

The roses are music through and through,

The moonlight falls in the breath of the rose,

Light and cadence, honey and hue,

Mingle, and murmur, and flow to the close,

I love you, I love you, I love you.
