But never was there man or woman
So truly, so intensely human!
And, hand in hand, from day to day,
They lived and labored, man and wife;
Together hewed their common way
Along the rugged path of Life;
Remaining, though the seasons pass’d,
Friends, lovers, to the very last.
So, side by side, they shared, these two,
The sorrow and the joys of living;
