The world goes up and the world goes down, br And the sunshine follows the rain; br And yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown br Can never come over again, br Sweet wife: br No, never come over again. br br For woman is warm though man be cold, br And the night will hallow the day; br Till the heart which at even was weary and old br Can rise in the morning gay, br Sweet wife; br To its work in the morning gay. br br br Andernach, 1851.
