You took me, William, when a girl, 
Unto your home and heart. 
To bear in all your after fate 
A fond and faithful part : 
And tell me, have I ever tried 
That duty to forego.'' 
Or wis there ever joy for me 
When you were sunk in woe ? 
No : I would rather share i/our tear 
Than any other's glee ; 
For though you're nothing to the world, 
You're all the world to me. 
Airoir. 
Nay, do not ask entreat not no, 
O no, I will not leave thy side ; 
Whither thou goest, I will go, 
Where thou abidest, I'll abide. 
Through life in death my soul to thine 
Shall cleave as first it clave ; 
Thy home, thy people shall be mine. 
Thy God my God, thy grave my grave. 
K. H. Wild. 
Adah. Alas! thou sinnest now, my Cain ; thy words 
Sound impious in mine ears. 
Cain. Then leave me ! 
Adah. Never, 
Though thy God left thee. btbon's caik. _
