I saw a Mem'ry -- when we wed --
The Trembling in the Room
Was like the Trembling in your Hands --
Before that Time -- we knew --
Our Friends all gathered -- smiled with Joy
But Thirst was growing dry
Impatience with Bob's Poetry
"Young Charms Endure?" - Oh My --
I was Sure -- the Contract Signed
With you I'd bought -- these Walls
We did not opt for rental Chairs --
There interposed a Flash --
A Face -- a Name -- a Memory --
I could not see to see --
And then I firmed my lips and then
I said I would to Thee.
