FROM THE NATIONAL GAZETTE
My chosen and my fairest
In sunshine and in gloom
Thy kindling eye shall cheer my paths,
Thy gentle smile illume;
And hand in hand we'll onward walk
Amid life's busy crowd,
While love shall cast a golden hue
On every passing cloud.
I'll cherish thee, my sweet one,
So fondly from all ill.
That time shall win its silent way,
But leave with thee no chill:
And thus undimm'd when years have flown
Affection's star shall shine,
As when I breath'd my earliest vows,
And blushes spake thee mine.
My best beloved, thus together,
We'll watch life's changing tide,
And gather all the fairest flowers,
That on the surface glide:
And grief shall be an idle name,
And sorrowing thoughts unknown
For love in darkest hours can form
A bright world of its own.
My chosen and my fairest
In sunshine and in gloom
Thy kindling eye shall cheer my paths,
Thy gentle smile illume;
And hand in hand we'll onward walk
Amid life's busy crowd,
While love shall cast a golden hue
On every passing cloud.
I'll cherish thee, my sweet one,
So fondly from all ill.
That time shall win its silent way,
But leave with thee no chill:
And thus undimm'd when years have flown
Affection's star shall shine,
As when I breath'd my earliest vows,
And blushes spake thee mine.
My best beloved, thus together,
We'll watch life's changing tide,
And gather all the fairest flowers,
That on the surface glide:
And grief shall be an idle name,
And sorrowing thoughts unknown
For love in darkest hours can form
A bright world of its own.
