Wouldst thou live to wander wan?
Dearest, never! freedom con,
And share my fearless halcyon.
Life is all thy tangled sum,
Then hold not so, fearful and numb,
But come to me, dear husband, come,
Come!”
Wildered I hearkened; held my tremulous limbs
Awhile, and heard, impassioned. From her eyes
Soft messages flashed o’er their lidded brims
