Has my foolish heart from its duty err'd,
And the soft compliance of love forgot?
There can be no question 'twixt wrong and right;
And surely we all can be brave and strong;
Yet I seem a little perplex'd to-night,
And hardly to know what is right or wrong.
I'm very young to be anyone's wife,
And to know about serious things like these—
Must my little hand touch my husband's life
With a thought of something more than to please?
