If I might see his face to-day! - / He is so happy now! -To hear / His laugh is like a roundelay- / So ringing-sweet and clear! / His step-I heard it long before / He bounded through the open door / To tell his marriage. -Ah! so kind- / So good he is! -And I-so blind!
But thus he always came to me- / Me, first of all, he used to bring / His sorrow to-his ecstasy- / His hopes and everything; / And if I joyed with him or wept, / It was not long _the music_ slept,- / And if he sung, or if I played- / Or both,-we were the braver made.
