• Lyrics:
  Love comes like a summer sigh,
  Softly o'er you stealing;
  Love comes and you wonder why
  To its shrine you're kneeling.
  Love comes and the days go by
  While your fate Love's sealing.
  Love some day must come to all,
  Come to all, come to all.
  Love some day must come to all,
  Come to all.
  
  (from another section:)
  Yes, in love all must fall —
  all must fall.
