“Some are purple, and gold flecked grey
“Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
“Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
For she who has journeyed through life midway,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,

Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,

Or, rich with the hue of her heart’s desire,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart’s desire,

Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.”
And worships the gods at her husband’s side”
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.”
