How dreary this world appears to be
When love does not rule the day;
Everything that dwelt in harmony
Now struggles in discord, gone astray
Did the sun rise in the East today?
It matters not that the sun rose at all!
Darkness will prevail where love has failed,
The shore weeps, though the tides rise and fall
And should a deluge cover the Earth,
Let each and every form of life die!
Without love, life loses all meaning,
Tell me, what purpose have you and I?
More than once a loveless day was mine,
And I swear, I would have preferred death;
(Fear of God's wrath would not taint the hour -
I'd pray for love with my dying breath)
Just the thought of living without love
Causes me to tremble and to shake;
Take everything that is dear to me,
But leave me some love, for goodness sake!
For love is all that really matters -
And there is no doubt that life is grand
When loneliness dwells on far-off shores,
And love walks beside us, hand in hand

I would like to translate this poem
Everything that dwells in harmony is beautiful dwelling in life. More than once a loveless day was of yours. But God's love motivated you with power and life became smooth. Remaining alone with goodness and gratitude is excellent definitely. An excellent poem is shared beautifully.10
