How I adore thee! my husband so dear,
Thou sheddest rays of heavenly cheer
In darkest moments of hopeless despair
When I crave a shoulder, you're always there.
Thy prayers for me flow as sweet healing balm
Rewarding me with ethereal calm.
Thy smile gladdens my hours as nectar sweet
E'en as thy faith bestows tranquil retreat.
Thy comforting arms vanquish all my tears,
And my spirit soars to celestial spheres.
When thou in moments of agony deep
I yearn to comfort, yet can only weep.
O! how ineffably I long to prove
My love, which trembles, thy bleakness to soothe.
