Thou and I
Language: English
We are walking in Gladness, my dear one, as we wend along life's way, and our hearts are full of happiness Thou and I today; If trouble should come up on us, or sorrow fall to our part Should we be willing to share it, to feel together its smart: Thou and I sweetheart? If our joys, my dearest, we together do share, Then adversity, surely, will not be a terrible care; For love smooths half the trials that fall upon life's way And amity brings comfort for ever and aye If it's Thou and I alway.
