THE REASONDo you know what moves the tidesAs they swing from low to high?’Tis the love, love, love,Of the moon within the sky.Oh! they follow where she guides,Do the faithful-hearted tides.Do you know what moves the earthOut of winter into spring?’Tis the love, love, love,Of the sun, the mighty king.Oh the rapture that finds birthIn the kiss of sun and earth!Do you know what makes sweet songsRing for me above earth’s strife?’Tis the love, love, love,That you bring into my life,Oh the glory of the songsIn the heart where love belongs!
