For while would sever affections fond

In my home that is distant, go far, far
from thee.
I would live in wild forests, by mortals
unknown,
And still be contented, though with
thee alone;

And ever be happy. if, Love, thou vert

Come home. dearest husband. and cheer
my sad heart,
And never, 10, never, again wi We part;
Come home, dearest husband, no more
