BRIDAL BALLAD

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.
