Love's blindness

I love you, and because I love

I walk a world enchanted;

There is no gift that I could crave

But destiny has granted.

For with the boon of love and you

It gave a happy blindness,

That cannot see but good and joy

And gentleness and kindness.

So through the turmoil of the world,

Whatever cares come after,

I'l1 count its blows as courtesy

Its bitterness as laughter.

My hope and faith in life from me

No stroke of fate can sever,

For life itself dwells in my heart,

Since love is mine for ever.
