A WINTER WEDDING.

When bleak, bluff, blatant blizzards blew,

And hats from storm-tossed heads were carried,

My enterprising friend, then you

Got married!

Soon spring had come, when doves can coo,

And flowers blossom, had you tarried;

Instead, in January you

Got married.

Then in your honeymoon you two

The gloom and snow of winter parried;

It's two to one two won when you

Were married.

And thus henceforward may you do;

By life's rough storms be never harried,

Together face them all now you

Are married.
