    In calm or stormy weather;
    To cheer one on the tedious way,
    To fetch one if one goes astray,
    To lift one if one totters down,
    To strengthen whilst one stands.

    Gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways;
    She covered up her eyes lest they should gaze
    On vanity, and chose the bitter truth.

    But poison in the blood
