First Line: Two spirits in two bodies, love
Last Line: As neither one could go alone.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Love; Togetherness
Two spirits in two bodies, Love,
We live together here, and thrive;
If one of these two bodies die,
How much of us will then survive?
If either you or I die first,
What comfort has the passing bell?
Two spirits in one body, Love,
Can hold together fairly well.
So when there's but one body left,
And that dies too, let it be known
That two fond spirits leave together,
As neither one could go alone.
