led by day, on the same rough roads and red,We have slept by night on a hard and narrow bed,We have shared the crumbs, when life would have hunger wait;By this he was made my man, I was made his mate. Laughter we know and the wild young song of the heart,Povertys pain and the spite and scorn that smart;And not tho the seven-walled seas were thrice as deepWould I change my place at his side for a softer sleep.
