And thou hast stolen a jewel, Death!Shall light thy dark up like a Star.A Beacon kindling from afarOur light of love and fainting faith.
Cling closer, closer, life to life,Cling closer, heart to heart;The time will come, my own wed Wife,When you and I must part!Let nothing break our band but Death,For in the world above'Tis the breaker Death that solderethOur ring of Wedded Love.
