TO A YOUNG COUPLE, BY HALF OF AN OLD(ISH) COUPLE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: You think that all the world is fair
Last Line: It's better all the time!
Subject(s): Love - Marital; Youth; Wedded Love; Marriage - Love


You think that all the world is fair;
(It's better all the time!)
You live in bliss, you walk on air;
(It's better all the time!)
You're eating manna from on high;
There's not a cloudlet in your sky;
But there's a better by and by:
It's better ALL the time!

Sometimes you own to half a doubt
(There comes a doubting time)
If married rapture will hold out
Through all the coming time.
But let a veteran banish fear:
Love never knows a waning year;
When lives are knit and hearts are dear,
It's better ALL the time!
