There Is dew for the how'ret,
And honey for The bee;
And bowers for the wild bird,
And love for you and me
There are tears for the many,
And pleasure for the few;
Bur let the world pass on, dear,
There's love for me and you
There Is care that will not leave us,
And pain that will not flee;
But on our hearth unaltered,
Site love, tween you and me
Our love, il meier was reckoned,
Yet good II Ia and true
It's half the world to me, dear,
It's all the world TO you
