Signification . . Married. 
Emblem Saffron. 
Sentiment . . . • Marriage. 
The words are all spoken, 
Thy lips breathe the vow, 
Youth’s ties are all broken, 
Thou must go with him now. 
Unto him thou hast given 
Thy affection and truth, — 
E’en the name is abandoned 
Thou hast borne in thy youth. 
Loved father’s protection, 
Fond mother’s caress, 
Thy sister’s affection, 
Though thou lov’st them no less, — 
All these could not stay thee, 
When thy heart bids thee go, 
With him who has won thee, — 
His truth thou shalt know. 
Thy smile in his dwelling 
Like sunlight will shine; 
Thy heart round thy husband, 
Its tendrils will twine.
