A VALENTINE.
Wife of mine—wife of mine—
Be thou still my Valentine;
Still, as when in Love's young day
We laughed the joyous hours away;
Still, as when on Life's broad stream
We launched our bark by Hope's bright beam;
Now, as then, my heart is thine,—
Thou art still my Valentine.
Be thou still my Valentine;
Still, as when in Love's young day
We laughed the joyous hours away;
Still, as when on Life's broad stream
We launched our bark by Hope's bright beam;
Now, as then, my heart is thine,—
Thou art still my Valentine.
Wife of mine—wife of mine—
Thou art still my Valentine;
Though poor in purse, yet light in heart,
With sweet content we'll never part;
No bickering strife nor jealous word
Shall in our humble courts be heard;
The day long and the night be mine,
To praise thee still, my Valentine.

The day long and the night be mine,

Wife of mine—wife of mine—
Evermore my Valentine;
True happiness will always rest
Where Truth and Love have built their nest,
Where Virtue ever bright appears,
Undimmed, unmarked by changing years.
Such is the home thou 'st made of mine,
My old, my dearest Valentine.
Evermore my Valentine;
True happiness will always rest
Where Truth and Love have built their nest,

Wife of mine—wife of mine—
Be thou still my Valentine;
The stream is broad, the tide is strong
That bears us on its breast along
Towards the shoreless, boundless sea,
Of a blest eternity;
My hopes of bliss round thee shall twine,
Eternally, my Valentine.
