English text
- When lovers meet again,
- Then obscure ways grow plain,
- Then crooked paths are straight
- and rough places smooth,
- Then weariness and weight
- Have wings as wide as love.
- For night is as the day;
- Love smiles love's tears away
- And all hard paths are smooth,
- [When lovers,] when lovers meet again.
- When lovers kiss again
- The dry bough blossoms then;
- Then rolls away the stone;
- Earth's bitterness is balm;
- Light through the night is blown;
- Peace rocks the world in calm;
- And the ebbing tide is full:
- For two souls are one soul,
- And obscrue ways grow plain,
- [When lovers,] when lovers meet again.
- Lyrics: Langdon Elwyn Mitchell (1862-1835), When lovers meet again, from "Poems", published 1894
