Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


My wife is still my sweetheart, dear;
Just as she was when side by side
We voyag'd upon our wedding year
Without a fear of any tide.

The years have come and years have gone;
And changes like the sweeping sea
Of calm and storm have swept our home;
But still our love is true and free.

The boyhood love of passion strong,
Which courted her with longing eyes
And words of Eden bliss and song,
Has grown to brighter, lovelier skies.

Our lives are bound together now
By self-denying years of toil;
And I can see upon her brow
A beauty time can never spoil.

Hand in hand with you dear wife,
I'm all content to finish out,
The winding future path of life;
And name that path the love way route.
