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;
