Wedding Hymn
Thou God, whose high, eternal love
LIS the only blue sky OF our life,
Clear all the heaven that bends above
The life road of this man and wife.
May these two lives be but one note
In the worlds strange sounding
harmony,
Whose sacred music e'er shall float
Through every discord up to Thee.
As when from separate stars two
beams
Unite to form one tender ray;
As when two sweet but shadowy
Explain each other in the day.
So may these two dear hearts one
Emit, and each interpret each.
Let an angel come and dwell tonight
In this dear double heart, and
teachi. Sidney Lanier.
Written September, 1866.
