He told me his love this morning.
With his dear hand clasped in mine.
And he said: "0od speed the dawhing
When, sweet, may call thee mine.n
But my fond heart questioned softly
Though loving him true and well,
Will his love outlast the chanRes?
Obi how can q woman tell7
When the years shall bring their trials,
And the cares and pains outweigh
The Joys In the little household,
AS clouds might obscure the day.
Win the hand that has held mine fondly,
When maideuly i'll befel', y
As earnestly shield from sorrow7
Ohi how can o woman tell7
When the silvery threads are creeping
Through my tresses one by one;
When lose my youth and beauty,
AS many q wife has done,
Will his heart be mine as truly
As whe in the fiowery dell
He gave me his trusted promise?
On how can q woman tell?
/ glance at my sweetheart waiting,
His eyes they are clear and true;
II love him." my heart said gladly,
II will trust him the wide world thro,.
will be TO him Joy and comfort,
will all other wives excel,
/ will keep him with loves sweet magic
This much may woman teli."
