Husband and Dearest, be not wroth with me,
Because I leave you for a little while—
Only a little—one day to return,
A better wife, and make a brighter home,
For therefore do I go, with breaking heart;
And secretly, for it would break your heart
To let me go; and yet I needs must go,
That worse may not befall, and we, the more
We rub together, be but more estranged.
Because I leave you for a little while—
Only a little—one day to return,
A better wife, and make a brighter home,
For therefore do I go, with breaking heart;
And secretly, for it would break your heart
To let me go; and yet I needs must go,
That worse may not befall, and we, the more
We rub together, be but more estranged.
