CHARADE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I have loved, through years of happiness
Last Line: Of my whole another gain.
Alternate Author Name(s): Egerton-warburton, R. E.
Subject(s): Family Life; Home; Marriage; Relatives; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


I HAVE loved, through years of happiness,
My first and second well;
The maiden that I wedded,
And the home wherein I dwell.

Although on both encroaching,
My third bring many a change,
From my first nor from my second
Shall it e'er my heart estrange.

For still that cherish'd feeling
Shall I till death retain;
Till full and free possession
Of my whole another gain.
