8   -8    -8 7 7 -7   -7  
Ah, sweet mystery of life 

-6  -6  6  -6    -6
at last I found thee.

-9  8  8   -8  -8  
Ah, I know at last 

-7   7 -6  -6  6 -6
the secret of it all.

 8  -8  -8 7      7 -7    
All the longing, seeking, 

 -7 -6     -6  6    -7  -7
stressing, waiting, yearning,

-8   8 -9    -8    -6   -8  
The burning hopes, the joy 

-8 -8-6  -8    -6    -8
and idle tears that fall.

8    -8   -8   7    7  -7 -7  
For 'tis love and love alone 

 -6  -6   6  -6 -6
the world is seeking.

-9   8    8   -8   -8  -8-7  
And 'tis love and love along 

 -6  -6   6 9
that can repay.

  9  -9  -9 8    
'Tis the answer, 

  8   7   7   -7 -7  -7 -9-9
'tis the end and all of living,

 7   7 -8   8  6 -6   
For it is love alone, 

  8   6 -6    7   -8    8  7
love alone that rules for aye.
