But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 In vain thou strugglest to get free; I never will unloose my hold. Art thou the man that died for me? The secret of thy love unfold: wrestling, I will not let thee go, till I thy name, thy nature know. 4 Yield to me now, for I am weak, but confident in self-despair; speak to my heart, in blessings speak, be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love! 5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me! I hear thy whisper in my heart! The morning breaks, the shadows flee; pure universal Love thou art: to me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love.
