Cradle Song
Mine and Thine (1904)
Thy heart and mine are one, my dear,At dawn and set of sun;When skies are bright, when days are drear,Thy heart and mine are one!
About us move the hapless folkWhom paltry things estrange;The friends that feel their bond a yoke,The loves that lightly change;
But thou and I, my bonny child,Their dangers blithely shun,Nor can by folly be beguiled,—For thou and I are one!
