| Thou art my thoughts, my present and my future. Thou art my hearts supreme, it’s only joy. I love thee more than any earthly creature.I love thee dear, I love thee dear.I love thee now and for eternity.I love thee now and for eternity. One thought of thee drives all other thought from me.Pledged to thy good alone this heart shall be.For to whatever fate God’s will may doom me.I love thee dear, I love thee dear.I love thee now and for eternity.I love thee now and for eternity. |
Du mein Gedanke, du mein Sein und WerdenDu meines Herzens erste SeligkeitIch liebe dich sei nichts auf dieser ErdenIch liebe dich, Ich liebe dichIch liebe dich in Zeit und EwigkeitIch liebe dich in Zeit und EwigkeitIch denke dein, kann stets nur deiner denken
nur deinem Gluek ist dieses Herz geweiht wie Goot auch mag des Lebens Schicksal lenken Ich liebe dich ich liebe dich Ich liebe dich in Zeit und Ewigkeit Ich liebe dich in Zeit und Ewigkeit |
Ich liebe dich is a German phrase meaning “I love thee.” A Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843~1907) composed Opus 5 no.3 and inserted Andersen’s poem for words, in order to express his heart to his fiancée Nina Hagerup, a lyric soprano. Nina was touched by his heart and married Edvard.
Not only love between male and female, like Edvard and Nina, there are many kinds of love; love between parents and children, love between siblings, love between friends… but which one would be never-changing love? Would there really be unchanging, everlasting love? What would be true love?
Love is to accept
Love is to have no judgment
One can love only when he is the Creator’s mind
One can love only when he is the Great Soul and Spirit of Truth
One can love
Only when his mind is that of Truth and free from his self
True love is only possible for one who has the biggest mind
True love is only possible for the living
Who are reborn as the soul and spirit of Truth.
Only Truth can love
True love of the enemy is only possible
When one becomes Truth
Love is to see as it is since you are Truth and without self
True love is
Not to make judgments
Not to have discernment
Great nature gives food and light from the sun
Blows wind and gives water
Without the mind that it has given
That great nature is Truth, love
True love does without the mind of doing
True love is unconditional
A love that is without expectations
True love is the law of nature itself
True love is great
True love does not have a mind of its own
But it is nature’s mind, the Creator’s mind
It is the mind that accepts everything
The mind which exists but is non-existent
It is the mind that sees things as they are without judgment
Poem from Master Woo Myung’s, True Love
