LOVE SONG

Light of my life! though far away,
My sun, you shine,
Your radiance warms me every day
Like fire or wine.

Life of my heart! in every beat
This sad heart gives,
It owns your sovereignty complete,
By which it lives.

Heart of my soul! serene and strong,
Eyes of my sight!
Together we can do no wrong,
Apart, no right.
