Phyllis.
None shall part us from each other,
One in life and death are we:
All in all to one another —
I to thee and thou to me!
All in all to one another —
I to thee and thou to me!

Phyllis./Strephon.
Thou the tree, and I the flower; /I the tree, thou the flower;
Thou the idol, I the throng; /I the idol, thou the throng;
Thou the day, and I the hour;/I the day, and thou the hour;
Thou the singer; I the song!/I the singer; thou the song!

Strephon.

All in all since that fond meeting
When, in joy, I woke to find
Mine the heart within thee beating,
Mine the love that heart enshrined!
Mine the heart within thee beating,
Mine the love that heart enshrined!

Phyllis. /Strephon.
Thou the stream, and I the willow; /I the stream, and thou the willow;
Thou the sculptor, I the clay; /I the sculptor, thou the clay;
Thou the ocean, I the billow; /I the ocean, thou the billow;
Thou the sunrise, I the day! /I the sunrise, thou the day!
Thou the stream, and I the willow; /I the stream
Thou the sculptor, I the clay; /and thou the willow
Thou the ocean, I the billow; /I the ocean, thou the billow;
Thou the sunrise, I the day! /I the sunrise, thou the day!
