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, that 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.
