Marriage

She is short and sweet,

Her eyes differently blue,

Her face a rough red,

She is the one I did woo,

She is the one to whom I said,

Though our lives are fleet

As this morning’s dew,

I will always love you.

If you’ll but be my bride,

In you I’ll always take pride,

If you’ll stay by my side,

In you I’ll ever confide,

From fierce fear I’ll not hide,

If you’ll stay by my side.

Here together you and I stand,

And,

Listen to the Priest say,

Let no man sever

What God puts together,

From this day,

We’re united forever.
