On the stream of wedded life
Hath your bark begun to glide;
Oh! may no sad breath of strife
Ever ruffle its smooth tide.
May your skies be ever bright,
And your heart forever free
From the sorrows which can blight
Hopes that now thrill joyously.
May each happy, youthful dream
Yours in full fruition be,
As you float adown the stream
To the broad, eternal sea.
O’er that broad sea may you find
Haven of delightful rest,
Where love still your souls shall bind,
And you be forever blest!
(Alfred Gibbs Campbell)
