Do you know what moves the tides / As they swing from low to high? / 'Tis the love, love, love, / Of the moon within the sky. / Oh! they follow where she guides, / Do the faithful-hearted tides.
Do you know what moves the earth / Out of winter into spring? / 'Tis the love, love, love, / Of the sun, the mighty king. / Oh the rapture that finds birth / In the kiss of sun and earth!
Do you know what makes sweet songs / Ring for me above earth's strife? / 'Tis the love, love, love, / That you bring into my life, / Oh the glory of the songs / In the heart where love belongs!
