A WEDDING GIFT.
All that I have this day is thine, A heart whose faith has never falter’d, A love that knew no other shrine And through all changes lives unalter’d. Had I a thousand hearts to give Thine all their love and faith should be, Had £ a thousand years to live I’d gladly spend them all with thee. There’s not a joy in all the world Liko that of love beyond deceiving, Though bolt on bolt be at it hurled The heart will triumph—when believing. This day my joy hath sov’reign sway— A joy which but with thee I know, The rapture of a first, fond love Which, wedded, makes a heaven below !
