Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life (The Dream Melody) [From "Naughty Marietta"]

Ah! sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee; Ah! I know at last the secret of it all; All the longing, striving, seeking, waiting, yearning, The burning hopes, the joys and idle tears that fall! For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking; And it's love, and love alone, that can reply; It's the answer, it's the end and all of living, For it is love alone that rules for aye! For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking; And it's love, and love alone, that can reply; 'Tis the answer, ti's the end and all of living, For it is love alone that rules for aye!
