TESTO DEL LIED

"Ah! Sweet mystery of life"
di Rida Johnson Young (c1869-1926)

Ah! sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee;
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;
All the longing, striving, seeking, waiting, yearning,
The burning hopes, the joys and idle tears that fall!
For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking;
And it's 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!
