He thought it was no time to speak.
So silently John went away,
And now he brings his wife to-day.
And there they are! And this is he
(I’d know his voice if I were blind!);
And in his smiling spouse I see
A gracious beauty, fair and kind,
A stately lady—not at all
Like yon quaint picture on the wall!
And now for all the boys and girls
