One, from that dear past day,
When first thy life found mine:
One, with all else forgot,
     My life and thine.

One, from that glad bright morn,
When first thy path crossed mine:
One, in their onward course,
     My path and thine.

One, from that lovelit eve,
When first thy heart met mine:
One then, one now, one hence,
     My heart and thine.

One, from that silent hour,
When first thy soul saw mine:
One, for all time to come,
     My soul and thine.
