To Mr. and Mrs. Shelton, on Their Bridal Eve

You have linked your hearts together,

Through the joys and cares of life,

And the pastor with his blessing

Has pronounced you man and wife.

 

You have linked your hearts together,

At the altar's holy shrine;

May your sky be clear and peaceful,

And your love star n'er decline.

 

If you live for one another,

Trusting each for good or ill,

Though the clouds may sometimes gather,

Love will make you happy still.
