He was weak, and I was strong — then —
So He let me lead him in —
I was weak, and He was strong then —
So I let him lead me — Home.
'Twasn't far — the door was near —
'Twasn't dark — for He went — too —
'Twasn't loud, for He said nought —
That was all I cared to know.
Day knocked — and we must part —
Neither — was strongest — now —
He strove — and I strove — too —
We didn't do it — tho'!
