Poems (Curwen)/A Bridal Wish

​

A Bridal Wish.
To-day the dear home ties you break, To-day familiar paths forsake, Leaving the old for new love's sake.
O that your future path may be From care exempt, from sorrow free; Your lives be spent in harmony.
Heav'n bless you both, bridegroom and bride; And, as you journey side by side, May sweet content with you abide;
And, on this happy bridal day, The sweetest wish that I can sayIs "May your joy abide for aye."
