In the quiet whispers of love's embrace,
We stand united in this sacred space.
With vows exchanged, a promise declared,
A lifetime of love, forever shared.
How Do I Love Thee?
Poet: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Life's Happy Morning
Poet: Wolfgang Muller
O life's ringing morning! O season divine!
What though thou art vanished, we shall not repine;
We yesterday loved, and to-day 'tis the same -
And to-morrow we'll love with unchangeable flame.
O life's happy morning! O time of delight!
Thou art with us, since love doth our bosoms unite;
We loved one another, we still love the same.
And we ever shall love with unchangeable flame!
