Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Marriage; Sympathy; Weddings; Husbands; Wives; Empathy
She did not press him with unwelcome speech—
Silence is oft the only comforter!—
She knew his soul toward hers must sometime reach,
And that their spirits would at length confer.
His loyalty she never would impeach:
Never could he dismantle Truth for her.
Her present wish she would in sooth forgo
Till he should choose to unburden all his woe.
