Song | To My Dear & Loving Husband |
Artist | Michael Hoppé |
Album | How Do I Love Thee |
[00:06.31] | If ever two were one, then surely we. |
[00:11.55] | If ever man were loved by wife, then thee. |
[00:16.46] | If ever wife was happy in a man, |
[00:19.49] | Compare with me, ye women, if you can. |
[00:23.86] | I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, |
[00:28.46] | Or all the riches that the East doth hold. |
[00:33.10] | My love is such that rivers cannot quench, |
[00:36.54] | Nor ought but love from thee give recompense. |
[00:41.74] | Thy love is such I can no way repay; |
[00:45.72] | The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. |
[00:50.07] | Then while we live, in love let’s so persever, |
[00:55.72] | That when we live no more, we may live ever. |
