It is unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life+70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life+50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923, it is almost certainly public domain in the USA as well. |

Lyrics
Ask me not, dear, what thing it is That makes me love you so; What graces, what sweet qualities, That from your spirit flow: For I have but this old reply, That you are you, and I am I. My heart leaps when you look on me, And thrills to hear your voice; Lies, then, in these the mystery That makes my soul rejoice? I only know I love you true, Since I am I, and you are you
