| | | THE WORLD goes up and the world goes down, | |
| And the sunshine follows the rain; | |
| And yesterday’s sneer, and yesterday’s frown, | |
| Can never come over again, | |
| Sweet wife, | 5 |
| No, never come over again. | |
| |
| For woman is warm, though man be cold, | |
| And the night will hallow the day; | |
| Till the heart which at even was weary and old | |
| Can rise in the morning gay, | 10 |
| Sweet wife, | |
| To its work in the morning gay. | | | | |
