1is cnly the same. sweet old story:
Told over once again.
The fint;nabulatons Of the wedding bells
Resound merrily on the brisk evening air
And she comes forth arraye d for the bridal hour
Round her fair forehead. twined matchless wreat
OF spotless orange flowers; and her dark hair
Lie in rich glossy folds around brow.
Which wears the seal Of youth and beauty too.
The smile Of truth plays on her coral bps
And on her ch eek the blush of innocence
While Faith and Hope beam from the dark brow
eye.
And at the foot Of th- altar their devoted hearts.
Already bound by their plighted troth
lhe holy man of Gcd. for better. for worse as one
, Binds thcm for evermore
And the tale is ;old!"
