First Line: They safely walk in darkest ways
Last Line: Twas faithful to his future wife.
Subject(s): Fidelity; Faithfulness; Constancy
They safely walk in darkest ways
Whose youth is lighted from above,
Where, through the senses' silvery haze,
Dawns the veil'd moon of nuptial love.
Who is the happy husband? He
Who, scanning his unwedded life,
Thanks Heaven, with a conscience free,
Twas faithful to his future wife.
