THE year, sweet wife, is on the wane— The happy-hearted year, That brought us only tithes of pain, And rounded sheaves of cheer. Beside the glowing embers we Need envy no one's pelf; Content am I to partner be In firm of "Wife and Self." Swift glide away the last low sands, Fast fades the hearth-fire's light; We face the world with wedded hands— Good-night, old year, good-night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV ARE THE CHILDREN AT HOME? by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER WHITTIER by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER OH, FACE TO FACE WITH TROUBLE by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER |
