Pledge
Whene'er you feel dismay my own heart aches,
that you should suffer so without release,
I would engage the hurt for both our sakes,
absorb the pain, and set your soul at peace.
For I can ne'er be still'd whilst you are filled
with anguish, your tranquility dis-eased,
we two as one, our aggravations spilled
and blended 'til the torment be appeased.
To find a way from darkness into light,
to cast away your feelings of despair
we will prevail, that all our days be bright,
and you shall rest content within my care;
this spell of trepidation disappears
as with my love you overcome your fears.
