Mystery of life

Verse 1

Ah! Sweet mystery of life

At last I've found thee

Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;

All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning

Verse 2

The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!

For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking,

And 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!

'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living

Verse 3

For it is love alone that rules for aye!

Love, and love alone, the world is seeking,

For 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!

'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living

For it is love alone that rules for aye!
