Chief among the “blessed three.”

    Come, wander with me, for the moonbeams are bright
On river and forest, o’er mountain and lea.

May calm the troubled breast.

  Its love-song to the morn;

  Through many changing years;
We have shared each other’s gladness,
  And wept each other’s tears.
          We have lived and loved together.
