Marriage Morning
One sunniest morn among youth's sunny days
When all the light of life—like that which passed
The eastern panes, and tinted glories cast—
Was summerhued for me with rainbow rays.
One happiest hour in all the hours I've knelt
And prayed for happiness. All sorrow-pain
That ever saddened me returned in vain:
Life's burden fell when love unloosed the belt.
The holiest time in church I ever spent;
Not there to rest awhile and idly think
Or dream, but every word with thought to link.
For love was crowned in that new sacrament.
The brightest, happiest, holiest time of life,
God-graced, and gifted with the smiles of earth;
A sweet occasion for the spousal birth
Of boy and maiden into man and wife!

The brightest, happiest, holiest time of life,

A sweet occasion for the spousal birth
