To the Wife of My Youth
Let me remember thy fair face once more,
Let me remember thee in time of yore
When ye first came to me with youth aglow.
When ye first spoke to me thy sweet hello.
Two eyes of deep and wholesome blue now seen,
And ye were comely being maid sixteen,
Windows reflecting heaven's wondrous gates.
on stage for me brought by the Living Fates
Such smile didst breach this rogue's defense that day,
and I found my heart wanting thee to say”,
" Yes, I'll love thee Alfred till sleep ends life"
Sixty four year she’s been my wife.
Let me remember sweet years breathed with thee,
A toast to golden times yet made to be.
