Evolution

Small hands to hold, chair for two,
The lights turned low and love to COO;
Two hearts as one and flashing eyes,
Arm gone to waist and myraid sighs;
The sweetest lassie in the world,
With ruby lips, hair waved and curled;
That fairy girl pressed to your side,
And then her VOW to be your bride
That's love!
A cottage small, clear skies above;
New man and wife, and ling'ring love;
And ample time for calling Dear"
No household worries interfere;
With setting sun, handholding time,
Loves hour of bliss, that hour sublime;
At evening, then, the lovers walk,
Full moon. the stars-and lovelorn talk
That's bliss!
Some time may pass, but love remains
In youthful hearts ii never wanes.
The cottage still, and still the love,
The blessing come from heav'n abovel
A hairless head, a feeble cry,
The chubby form and twinkling eye;
And ever more parental joy,
Thank heaven for the newcome boy!
