True love 's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly It liveth not in fierce desire, With dead desire it doth not die It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart and mind to mind In body and in soul can bind.
