1. Dear, we are younger and happier than that day When you and I and Love were left alone And the world's laughter and sadness died away Into a rapt and exquisite monotone;

2. We have lived and striven, not songless in the strife, We have known good things and ill and either star; We are younger than these lives born of our life, We are happier than these little laughters are.

3. For life has given us this good gift: to know The harmony in difference and that strain Of humours unresolved that keeps us two; Two souls that with a separate radiance glow, Not to one dullness fused; that still retain This You and I not less than I and You.
