TO E. A. W.,
ON HER MARRIAGE.
Concord, N. H., August 22, 1831.
Absent! We are not absent, dear.
Of all the happy throng you see,
Not one in spirit is more near,
Or breathes a heartier wish, than we.
So take our kiss, and with it share
A brother's sister's love and prayer.
Of all the happy throng you see,
Not one in spirit is more near,
Or breathes a heartier wish, than we.
So take our kiss, and with it share
A brother's sister's love and prayer.
May He who blessed your early lot
With all that makes a happy home,
O'erwatch, with equal love, the spot
That waits your life in years to come.
Trust Him,—let weal or woe betide;—
Trust;—and what can you ask beside?
With all that makes a happy home,
O'erwatch, with equal love, the spot
That waits your life in years to come.
Trust Him,—let weal or woe betide;—
Trust;—and what can you ask beside?
