“Yes, dearest; what a little while ago it seems! Ah, those were gladsome days to us; were they not?”
“Gladsome? Ah, yes! their memory is sweet to this hour. Yet I do not sigh for their return; I would not bring them back; a deeper, calmer blessedness is mine. My dear husband,
“’I bless thee
for the noble heart,
The tender and the true,
Where mine hath found
the happiest rest
That e’er fond
woman’s knew;
I bless thee, faithful
friend and guide,
For my own, my treasur’d
share,
In the mournful secrets
of thy soul,
In thy sorrow and thy
care.’”
“Thank you, my darling,” he said, lifting her hand to his lips, his eyes shining. “Yes;
“We have lived and loved
together,
Through many changing
years,
We have shared each
other’s sorrows,
And we’ve wept
each other’s tears.
“Let us hope the future
As the past has been,
may be,
I’ll share with
thee thy sorrows,
And thou my joys with
me.”
