I love you so that I would rather have / Your happiness than any joy below. / I would give up my soul your soul to save, / I love you so!
If round your island like sea should flow / The dearest gifts men ever sought or gave -- / My heart's desire should on the first crest glow!
My love counts pain and death small things to brave; / My love shall find the joy the immortals know; / And triumph o'er the future -- and the grave, -- / I love you so!
