Explore "Husband and Wife" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Reach out your arms, and hold me close and fast, / Tell me you have no memories of your past / That mar this love of ours, so great, so vast.
Some truths are cheapened when too oft averred -- / Does not the deed speak louder than the word? / (_Dear Christ_! _that old dream woke again and stirred_.)
