“My love! my husband! oh, what pow'r
“Of earth or Heaven, in direful hour,
“Can break the bonds that make us one,
“Until our earthly course be run?
“Oh! I will leave my native sky,
“My friends—my parent—ev'ry tie
“That nature binds around my heart,
“Rather than we shall ever part!
“If thou must leave this dreaded isle,
“Can I exist without thy smile?
“No! o'er the yet unfathom'd sea
“Thro' all the world I'll follow thee!”
