Текст песни
I wonder, by my soul, what you and I
Did, till we loved? Were we not truly born?
Did we but suck on childish pleasures lie
Or slumber deep like souls in endless dawn?
’Twas so, I fear — all pleasures we pursued
Were but vain shadows, fleeting, incomplete
Now good-morning to our waking souls
Which do not watch each other out of fear
For love has claimed us, and all else controls
Turning this small room to the whole world’s sphere
Any beauty that my eyes once wooed
Was but a dream of you, faint and sweet
Now good-morning to our waking souls
Which do not watch each other out of fear
For love has claimed us, and all else controls
Turning this small room to the whole world’s sphere
Let sea-discoverers new worlds pursue
Let maps show countless realms from east to west
We two possess one world, and make it true
Each is a world, and in each other rest
My face in yours, and yours within my eyes
Two perfect hemispheres, without decay
No bitter North, no fading Western skies
Our equal love shall never pass away
