Thread Name: ADD: Love Love Love (from Cosmotheka)(plus others)
Subject: Lyr Add: LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! (Cushing & Friml, 1918)
From the sheet music at The University of Maine:


LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Words, Catherine Chisholm Cushing. Music, Rudolf Friml.
Boston: G. Schirmer, 1918
From the musical play "Glorianna"

VERSE: O Fate, what is your gift supreme?
Treasures, or pleasures, or health?
Cheers, our hearts to gladden?
Tears, our eyes to sadden?
O Fate, what gift will beggar wealth?
Sighing and crying redeem?
Tell me, Fate, that I may dream
Of your gifts, what is supreme?

CHORUS: Love, love, love,
Of heaven's treasures the best!
Sent from above,
And by angels caressed!
May it hold you, enfold you,
Throughout life, keep you from harm,
Cheer you through bitter strife!
Love, love, love!
Deep in your hearts may it dwell!
Treasure it fondly,
Oh, harbor it well!
With Love enthralling,
Heaven's within calling,
God's in His world;
All's well!
