Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life

Ah, sweet mystery of life

At last I've found thee

Ah, I know at last the secret of it all

All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning

The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall

For 'tis love and love alone, the world is seeking

And 'tis 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

Love and love alone, the world is seeking

For 'tis 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
