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.
