Life of my life—it is you.
Breath of my breath all my days.
First among women so true,
Second to none in my praise.

Light of my eyes, though you’re far,
See I no skies but your blue;
Only in night my one star,
Only day’s rise that is you.

Give I my love to your years;
Kneeling, my words I send true;
Breathe all my songs to your ears,
Heart growing closer to you.

Life of my life—it is you.
