’Tis thou alone can’st dry my tears.

’Tis thou alone can’st bring relief,

Partner of every joy and grief!

E’en when encompass’d with distress,

Thy smile can every ill redress.

On thee, my lovely, faithful friend,

My worldly blessings all depend:

But if a cloud thy visage low’r, }

Not all the wealth in Plutus’ power, }

Could buy my heart one peaceful hour. }
