Because I had loved my first born son with all my heart,

I couldn't imagine loving anyone else like that,

And yet, the second child was born,

And I found, not only one hundred fold increase of love 

Toward this child, too,

But also my love for the first one grown.

So now I see how love lights love,

Like a candle whose flame is not deterred

By the lighting of many others from itself.

And now I see how you've lit me,

And how I'm lighting you.
