A Love song.
Two hearts that yearn
For loves sweet prison.
Where his Is her'n
And her'n is his'n.
Two souls that beat
In kindred rapture.
Ono Is go sweet.
One bent on capture.
TWO mouths to feed
Two bills in fusion!
This life. indeed.

They set the fashion:
First. believe.
To that grand passion.
And ever since
Love has been calling:
Lemon and ounce
In wedlock falling.
Locked in their turn
In loves sweet prison,
His fate is her'n
And her'n is his'n!
