I have a little husband

by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

I have a little husband

Language: English

I have a little husband
  And he is gone to sea,
The winds that whistle round his ship
  Fly home to me.

The winds that sigh about me
  Return again to him;
So I would fly, if only I
  Were light of limb.
