Enough (Teasdale, set by E. Cooper, M. Coryell, H. Samuels) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


It is enough for me by day
      To walk the same bright earth with him;
Enough that over us by night
      The same great roof of stars is dim.

I do not hope to bind the wind
      Or set a fetter on the sea --
It is enough to feel his love
      Blow by like music over me.
