True Love
Then come the wild Weather,
Come Sleet, or come snow,
We will stand by each other,
However it Blow.
Oppression And sickness,
And sorrow, and pain,
Shall be to our True love
As links to the Chain.
bunch of mixed flowers
with words beneath:-
EVER THINE
As the palm-tree standeth
So straight and so Tall,
The more the Hail beats,
And the more the Rains fall,
So love in our Hearts
Shall grow mighty and strong,
Through crosses, through sorrows,
Through manifold Wrong.
Longfellow
