Oh, you are the world and everything in it
all the things I have ever dreamed of
or ever shall.
Oh, you are all that I live for
and all of the universe and everything in it
rests within your soul.
Within you is all the things that I have ever loved
and all that I shall ever love.
All of this I find within you!
and if all the worth of all the world
did rest upon a scale
as massive and as long and wide
as though it reached to the stars
and with you upon that scale
it could never outweigh
one tiny cell beneath the nail
upon your little finger.
and all the worth of all the souls
of all who have ever lived
in this wide starry universe
could never be greater
than all the worth
that my heart places upon you.
Oh, my heart is bound to you
as with a cord of unbreakable steel
forged by God in his eternal domain,
that all the powers of this fallen world
can never destroy.
And as the cord stretches into eternity
and all the infinity of space
so my love stretches into far infinity
and fills my mind to overflowing.
Oh, overflowing it seems
the bony wall of the house of my mind
and I am filled with an infinity
of memories and thoughts
of my love for you
and oh how it seems that I am awash
in an ocean of dreams.
Oh, such beautiful dreams of you!
And oh how the music of your soul
eternally floods my heart
with such a longing
that it seems all the force
of this endless universe lived within it.
Oh, how it has overwhelmed my mortal coil
and it seems that I have left
it far behind and all the world in which it lives.
And I no longer wish to be a child of earth
but live in your loving arms
for all of infinite eternity.
Oh, this overpowering love
that ever lives and breaths in my heart
how can any mortal or immortal tongue
express all the love I hold for you.
Can you hold this infinity in the palm of your hand?
Can you measure it and say  this far is my love and no more?
Oh, the heart is a mystic *****
and an ocean lives within it
of my love I hold for you.
Oh, my heart has but one thought
" I love you.  I love you!   Oh, how I love you!!."
Oh, how you have stolen all of my reason
and now I think only as a mad man.
Oh, for me nothing else matters
but you my angel
my dear love!!
And my heart is forever bound to you
bound to you with this unbreakable cord
till the end of time.
