A poem by Charles Kingsley

Dolcino To Margaret

________________________________________________
Title:     Dolcino To Margaret
Author: Charles Kingsley [More Titles by Kingsley]

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:
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,
Sweet wife;
To its work in the morning gay.

Andernach, 1851.
