BE YE ONE, Bweetheart, ‘twas a happy day When we heard the preacher say, In his solemn monotone, ‘Man and woman, be ye one.” I can seo his dear old face Bee him marshal us in place ; | J oan feel my pulses throb ; I can hear your smothered sob, ‘Man and woman, be ye one," Wasn't there a spice of fun In this naming of us two? I was scarce a man, and you You were just a slender slip When we took our bridal trip , But we felt no lack of years As wo mingled happy tears, “Man and woman, be ye one,” One we are while moments run Onward toward that open sea Where new argosies may be, One in heart and life and all | Each a ruler, each a thrall, | As we were one happy day When I bore my bride away.
