W:2.While day and night can bring delight.
W:    Or nature aught of pleasure give;
W:  While joys above my mind can move.
W:    For thee and thee alone I live,
W:  When that grim foe of life below,
W:    Comes in between to mak us part,
W:  The iron hand that breaks our band,
W:    It breaks my bliss--it breaks my heart!
