There is no soul of anguish or repining,
  That doubts and trembles in the shades of gloom,
But love can lead where softest suns are shining
  And fill his days with beauty and its bloom.
          Live life with love!

There is no bosom dark with lonely caring,
  That sadly sorrows in the nights of woe,
But love can soothe his torture and despairing,
  And scatter gladness where his feet may go.
          Live life with love!

There is no scene of misery or sorrow
  That droops and withers in the dark of night,
But love can bring fond yearnings for the morrow
  And heap the heart with hope’s unfading light.
          Live life with love!

There is in all the world no sinful creature
  That gropes and falters on his troubled way,
But love can overcome his erring nature,
  And change his darkness to eternal day.
          Live life with love!

Sweet love, with bounties that her hands are giving,
  Can blossom roses on the desert heath,
Can brighten all the longings of the living
  And with found kisses warm the lips of death.
          Live life with love!

As love is thine, so shall thy days be sweeter
  With all the deeds that shall thy fellows bless;
Thy small achievements nobler and completer
  With truth and hope and highest happiness!
          Live life with love!
