ANY WIFE TO ANY HUSBAND.
1
My love, this is the bitterest, that thou
Who art all truth and who dost love me now
As thine eyes say, as thy voice breaks to say—
Shouldst love so truly and could'st love me still
A whole long life through, had but love its will,
Would death that leads me from thee brook delay!

I have but to be by thee, and thy hand
Would never let mine go, thy heart withstand
I have but to be by thee, and thy hand
Would never let mine go, thy heart withstand
