I love my love by William F. Sudds — Lyrics
HAPPY LOVE
What is the meaning of the song
That rings so clear and loud,
Thou nightingale amid the copse–
Thou lark above the cloud?
What says thy song, thou joyous thrush,
Up in the walnut tree?
“I love my love , because I know
My love loves me.”
What is the meaning of thy thought,
O maiden fair and young?
There is such pleasure in thine eyes,

About I love my love
William F. Sudds's setting of I love my love is a secular SATB partsong. The text expresses the simple, joyous sentiment of reciprocal affection, comparing it to the uninhibited singing of birds. The composer's music captures this feeling of uncomplicated happiness. The lyrics speak of love as a source of pleasure and glory, a theme that remains steadfast even as time and care take their toll. This is a cheerful and optimistic piece, suitable for adding a touch of lightheartedness to any concert programme.
