Love Rejoices

Lyrics

I walk alone upon a lonely beach And none but I walk here On ev'ry side the world is mine as far as I can reach Oh, the sea and sky and earth stretch wide Why am I then as if confined When I have all this endless ev'rywhere? Who locks me in this cage of mind? And why is this bare world so hard to bear? O love, come close and circumscribe me round With love's dear otherness, encompass me In bonds so fair for when I am bound by love On ev'ry side Then I am free O love, you are the only narrow door through which myself can reach to the yet more And Love Rejoices, Love Rejoice!"
