Thou and I

W. Baines

We are walking in Gladness, my dear one,

as we wend along life's way,

and our hearts are full of happiness

Thou and I today;

If trouble should come up on us, or sorrow fall to our part

Should we be willing to share it, to feel together its smart:

Thou and I sweetheart?

If our joys, my dearest, we together do share,

Then adversity, surely, will not be a terrible care;

For love smooths half the trials that fall upon life's way

And amity brings comfort for ever and aye

If it's Thou and I alway.
