By Your Love

By Your Love

By your love a Rose’s beauty can best measure

And the Robin sings her sweetest melody

While the wind’s breeze brings the most pleasure

Its caresses gentlest when you are alongside of me.

By your love I learn to most appreciate the sunrise

And the sun’s rays that brilliantly blanket the day

From the oceans to the meadows your beauty lies

I live as long as your love for me will stay.

By your love I most appreciate the coming night

And the moon and stars now most clearly shine

For through your eyes is Heaven most in sight

So I know that on Earth and Heaven you are mine.

By your love this earth’s blessings understand

Because all these through your spirit know

For its greatest gift is when I hold your hand

And its gift more precious as our love grow.
