Sweetheart, I Love Thee, Sweetheart. Copyright, 1892, by W. Schmiel. Words by Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse. Music by W. C. Schrader. 
I love thee, sweetheart; look into my eyes. It's there my soul is pleading through my sighs: I summons thee by love lit fire that glows, As sun-laid kisses on a virgin rose. Incarnate flower, thou blossom of my heart. Unfold to me the mystery that thou art; Thou lov'st me, sweetheart-within thy slumberous eyes, Suffused with dewy light, my heart's ease lies. Upon the mirror of thy glowing face I read the secret of thy tender grace; And, like the eleven rose, thy lips do seem Love laden with the utterance of my dream. 
Thou lov'st me, sweetheart; fall'n from downcast eyes. Upon thy flushing cheek a teardrop lies; The dew is shaken from my heart-ease now. And makes a dear confession to my vow. Sweet is thy prophecy, O welcome guest, That bringest to my heart its perfect rest. We love, my sweetheart; tell it o'er and o'er: I love, thou lov'st, we love for evermore. Clasping with velvet touches hand-in-hand, Love sings to love this song through all the land. Where marriage bells with silver utterance call: Love, loved love and love is all in all.
