THE HOUR AND THE GHOST.
BRIDEGROOM.
Lean on me, hide thine eyes:
Only ourselves, earth and skies,
Are present here: be wise.
Lean on me, hide thine eyes:

GHOST.
Lean on me, come away,
I will guide and steady:
Come, for I will not stay:
Come, for house and bed are ready.
Ah, sure bed and house,
For better and worse, for life and death:
Goal won with shortened breath:
Come, crown our vows.
Lean on me, come away,
I will guide and steady:
Come, for I will not stay:
Come, for house and bed are ready.
Ah, sure bed and house,
For better and worse, for life and death:
Goal won with shortened breath:
Come, crown our vows.
BRIDE.
One moment, one more word,
While my heart beats still,
While my breath is stirred
By my fainting will.
One moment, one more word,
While my heart beats still,
While my breath is stirred
By my fainting will.
