but now she goes to her distant home
resting on the arm of him she has
chosen. Hitherto she has been like
clock, giving her time for all the
world. Now, she is like watch,
buried in ones bosom, keeping only
his hours ticking, to the beat OF his
presses the wish that:
Along life's pathway flowers bloom;
Nav sunshine drive away its gloom,
And happy speed the tieeting hour
Fen when the storms above thee lower
And when the course of life is done,
And from the glass the sands have run;
Amid the silver sheen of lite,
Faithful the husband true the wife
Faithful and true unto the close,
That calls us all to life's repoSe,
