Poems, partly of rural life, (in national English.) | ||
CONCLUSION.
—While thus she speaks they hear the soundOf trampling horses' feet upon the ground,
And crackling carriage wheels, that stop before
The fair-wall'd house, and porch-beshaded door,
That, swinging slowly backward, opens wide
For Erwin, and for Linda made his bride.
For Mr. Farmund now withholds no more
His lovely Linda from her Erwin's door;
And she, brought home this happy night, has show'd
Her wife's first smiles within her new abode:
22
The few that stood his friends when he was tried.
So joy be with them all, and joy betide,
Each faithful husband and true-hearted bride.
