Unfortunate couples bound in unhappy wedded lock

To parade their troubles upon the public dock;

And to bind the chains anew they seek to dissever,

Holding them fast that he may be deemed clever,

In the estimation of all the Christian Endeavor;

And that class of persons who want now and forever

To meddle in the affairs of all whomsoever

Are not able to disclaim the care they obtain;

Who crowd upon the weak the blessings they do not seek;

All to achieve for themselves a home in the sky
