O love, I love you better than you know!

I love you as the water loves the sea.

I love you as the twilight loves the dark.

The trumpets of the morning, to my heart

From shining towers blow the thought of you;

The waves of evening flood my heart with you.

O life and joy and breath and death of me,

With every breath I draw you in like air!

O I shall die of you, of you, of you!
