Bridal Ballad
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.
