The ring is on her hand,

The wreath is on her brow;

All at my command,

And we are happy now.

​

I do love her well

When first I breathed my vow

I saw her bosom swell

And see who’s happy now.

​

As others were; I have not seen

As others saw; I could not bring

​

Removed from the world 

with its sin and care

Love alone shall guide us there

Never wishing that others may see!

Ever peaceful and blissful we’ll be.

​

I spoke to re-assure her

And kissed her pallid brow

And to the church-yard bore her

Oh, is she happy now?

​

As others were; I have not seen

As others saw; I could not bring

​

Removed from the world 

with its sin and care

Love alone shall guide us there

Never wishing that others may see!

Ever peaceful and blissful we’ll be.

​

And thus the words were spoken

And this the plighted vow

Here‘s a ring as token

And we are happy now

​

Removed from the world 

with its sin and care

Love alone shall guide us there

Never wishing that others may see!

Ever peaceful and blissful we’ll be.

​

Removed from the world 

with its sin and care

Love alone shall guide us there

Never wishing that others may see!

Ever peaceful and blissful we’ll be.
