How comes the trueness of love,
when everything else turned away;
that even the angels turned above,
and the night failed to turn to day?

How can thy voice ring in thine ear,
when the sleep of death has come,
or thy eyes decipher what comes near,
even tho' light, to darkness succumb?

And how be it that thy own breath,
speaks of something never known;
even after thy being ceased to death,
and thy unloving doth come to moan?

How doth love prevent world's turning,
by its mere and shadowed existence;
that stranger's hearts won't stop yearning,
nor by hate's own unloving allowance?

Then be it if it must, if breath be life,
and life be breath, so love must be I!
So farewell to this loveless strife,
may love be with thee, till the day I die!
