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
