Love, I have won you and held you
In a lifelong quickening dream;
When the meadows sprang fair with flowers
And the river was all agleam.
Warm shone the sunlight around us,
And clear were the skies above,
Till the stars peeped forth in the twilight,
And the moon rose pale with love.
Love, I have won you and held you
Life has no more to give,
Then come to me here in the sunshine,
It is summer, It is summer
Ah let us live!
