[Adele:]
Love is a man's delight,
A fancy of today!
With vows and sighs
He wins his prize,
Then laughs and goes his way.
Some newer charms invite,
Some fairer face he sees;
For men bestow their love, you know,
As often as they please.
Yet one there is with whom to be
Were end of longing lonely
For he is all the world to me,
I love, I love him only.
For he is all the world to me,
I love, I love him only!
Love is a woman's all,
For which alone she lives
By night, by day, she loves for aye,
When once her heart she gives!
Wherever it may call,
In trust and hope goes she,
Thro' good or ill at his dear will,
For all eternity!
Yet one there is with whom to be
Were end of longing lonely
For he is all the world to me,
I love, I love him only.
For he is all the world to me,
I love him only!
