Life's hopes are budding in their path ; Life's star is rising in their sky ; Fair promise all their future hath, One love, one home, one destiny. A sacred service makes them one, And life's long marriage is begun. Methinks I see them as they stand Before the altar, hand in hand, A manly youth with forehead high, Of noble form and eagle eye ; SILVER WEDDING. A blushing maiden young and fair, Sweet orange blossoms in her hair. Kind friends, no favor is denied; I give you leave to kiss the bride.... The muse must now venture a secret to tell, 'Twas everywhere whispered this pair married well ; For whatever joys he could wish for in life, He found ready made at the hands of his wife ; And she, it is said, was more envied than he, As happy as fortunate woman could be ; For hers was the one prize so eagerly sought By managing dames at a summer resort, And one that the stoniest heart can bewitch ; You've guessed her good fortune, she married RICH. But not these scenes alone our thought shall claim ; For downward in the course of passing years, Through scenes too sweet to last, too dear to name, A richer field of riper joys appears, SILVER WEDDING.
