An Epithalamium
LONGWORTH—ROOSEVELT, February 17th, 1906
Hail, bride and bridegroom of the West!
Your troth irrevocably plighted!
Your act of Union doubly blest,
Your single States United,
With full approval and assent
Of populace and President!
Let Spangled Banners wave on high,
To greet the maiden as she passes!
