Linden Tree. 
MATRIMONY. 
Oh! take her, kut be faithful still, 
And may the bridal vow 
Be sacred held in after years, 
And warmly breathed as now ; 
Remember *t is no common tle 
That binds her youthful heart : 
T is one that only truth should weave, 
And only death can part. 
The joys of childhood’s happy hour, 
The home of riper years ; 
The treasured scenes of early youth, 
In sunshine and in tears ; 
The purest hopes her bosom knew, 
When her young heart was free, — 
All these and more she now resigns, 
To brave the world with thee. 
* * * * 
Then take her, and may fleeting time 
Mark only joys increase ; 
And may your days glide sweetly on 
In happiness and peace. 
CHARLES JEFFREYS.
