AURELIA.
Er din Aurelia dig ikke nok, –
formår hun ej, din sjæl tilfreds at stille, –
så åbn dog hjertet for et venligt ord,
en kærlig trøst ifra din hustrus læber.
Kan hun ej mætte denne hede trang,
kan hun ej følge dine tankers flyven, –
vid: hun formår at dele hver din sorg,
har kraft og mod at lette dine byrder.
AURELIA.
Though your Aurelia be not all to you,--
Though she can never still your restless soul,--
Your heart yet open to a gentle word,
A word of comfort from your loving wife.
Though she may never slake your fiery thirst,
Nor follow in their flight your noble thoughts,--
Know this, that she can share your every sorrow,
Has strength and fortitude to ease your burden.
