Now you will feel no rain
For each of you will be shelter to the other
Now you will feel no cold
For each of you will be warmth for the other
Now there is no more loneliness
For each of you will be companion to the other
Now you are two persons
But there is only one life before you
Go now to your dwelling place and enter
Into the days of your eternal life together
And may your days together be good and long
Upon this earth and in life everlasting
