Wedding
Song
These two have come to the altar
To prove again, again,
That something does not falter
In the withered world of men;
That
though the leaves are ashes
And though the waves turn dust,
Though
rings contain their crosses,
Yet there is trust.
And if dumb fingers grope
Nightly for a ghost content,
That there is fire, that there is hope,
These two this day have meant.
And
should times judging sand
Have an open and shut case,
These two put hand in hand
To plead that love takes place,
And though the dragons woken,
And though the ground is shaken,
And though the tree is broken,
Loves place is not taken.
So two before the one
Who shaped them of red earth
Stand to show what shall be done:
Two souls wedding, one lifes birth.
