BECAUSE, by                    
First Line: Because I love you
Last Line: Tis beyond what I should do!
Subject(s): Love


Because I love you,
Life has been most kind to me;
I'm thrilled clear through,
Things just like they ought to be;
Don't you know when brightness
Comes, to leave the clouds behind?
And we forget the silly things,
That once did clog our mind.

All is a quaint sweetness,
Every gap my joy does fill,
For I'm in love with you;
I am just blind against my will.
But I don't care a particle,
For hours shall yet be short
When I may then forget
What now fills every thought.

The beauties of humankind,
The thrills, love's tender touch,
God in His kindness then looks down,
And fills my soul with much.
Though I feel brimming o'er to tears
And tenderness for you,
I cannot say another word,
'Tis beyond what I should do!
