LIVED AND LOVED TOGETHER.
By Anon.
We have lived and loved together
Through many changing years;
We have shared each other's gladness,
And wept each other's tears.
I have never known a sorrow
That was long unshared by thee,
For thy smile can make a summer
Where darkness else would be. Like leaves that fall around us
In autumn's fading hours
Are the traitor smiles that darken
When the cloud of sorrow lowers,
And tho many such we've known, love,
Too prone, alas! to range,
We both can speak of One, love,
Whom time could never change. We have lived and loved together
Through many changing years;
We have shared each other's gladness
And wept each other's tears;
And let us hope the future
As the past has been will be;
I will share with thee thy sorrows
And thou thy joys with me.
