 Such groans of roaring wind and rain, I never
 Remember to have heard.

I want to build you a house with my bare hands and carry you over the threshold. I want too cook for you every evening and bring you tea in bed in the mornings.

I may not be a man of means, bit I want to take care of you as best I can.
