Connection between "The Wanderer" and "The Wife's Lament"

Hey guys! I was wanting to comment on an easy way to remember "The Wanderer" and "The Wife's Lament" by Dede. I might be stretching this connection, but I consider the Wanderer to be a man of war, a past noble and rich figure, and someone who dedicated himself to the troops and who is in search of the Lord (his wife). However, now, he is a lonely man who remembers when he had to "cover his gold-friend in the darkness of the earth" (112). This wanderer is now roaming the Earth in search of companionship, the Lord, and the comfort of happiness. Therefore, the woman in "The Wife's Lament" could be the wife of the wanderer who awaits for her husband (who she refers to as the Lord) to get back from war. For example, she says, "First my lord went away from his people here across the storm-tossed sea" (114). Meaning her husband went to war. She longed for his return and love, but he never made it home (hence, the wanderer is roaming an unknown country). The young wife spends the rest of her life alone, waiting for her husband. I connect these two because the wanderer leaves (his wife?) to go to war and does not return, while the wife is waiting for the return of her husband (who never makes it home). In relation to a military marriage and deployment, a husband and wife is separated. The husband goes to fight with his comrades and serve his country, while his wife stays at home and takes care of the house hoping her husband returns. I believe that in the last paragraph of "The Wife's Lament" explains these emotions, "Should a young person ever be sad, harsh care at heart, he must then at one and the same time have heartache and a glad countenance, although he suffers endless surging sorrows"(114).
