[Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse]
Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse;
Thy trembling dove, yet still Thy dove;
Thine own by mutual vows,
By mutual love.
Thy trembling dove, yet still Thy dove;
Thine own by mutual vows,
By mutual love.
Recall Thy vows, if not her vows;
Recall Thy Love, if not her love:
For weak she is, Thy spouse,
And tired, Thy dove.
Recall Thy Love, if not her love:
For weak she is, Thy spouse,
And tired, Thy dove.
