Language — FIDELITY. 
Be true to me! 
Be as the star that burns 
Calm, and unchanged in the midnight air, 
When unto thee my wearied spirit turns 
For sweet repose from all the storms of care : 
Be true to me ! 
Be true to me! 
Not always may the bloom 
Of hope and gladness on my cheeks remain; 
And when dark thoughts shall shade my soul with 
gloom, 
Thy tender accents still may soothe its pain: 
Be true to me ! 
Afros' 
ANSWER. 
1 do not promise that our life 
Shall know no shade on heart or brow ; 
For human lot and mortal strife 
Would mock the falsehood of such vow. 
But when the clouds of pain and care 
Shall teach us we are not divine, 
My deepest sorrows thou shalt share, 
And I will strive to lighten thine. 
Eliza Cook. 
If we love one another, 
Nothing, in truth, can harm us, whatever 
Mischances may happen. Longfellow.
