Torrents of rain from the heav'ns did pour,
And flashes of lightning sent o'er and o'er
A thrill to our hearts, deep to the core,
You and I together.
Galloping on with our prancing steeds
Under close shelter of thickest trees
You and I together.
When we at last halted 'fore a wild rocky cave
As cold and silent as a grave
We entered, protected from the storm's rage
You and I together.
We waited and watched, till the storm had passed
You and I together.
And naught was heard, save the sobbing wind
In the trees without, and the troth within
Of two beating hearts, who vowed to impart
Their true plight forever,
Ah! you and I together.
