MY lovely wife, who yestermorn didst bring
Thy youth and sweetness all to me alone --
Thine eyes of innocence and heart of spring --
And madest them mine own;

My Bride from Erin -- thou in whom I wed
Not only thee but surely her as well --
Her of the ancient tears, the glories dead,
The undying charm and spell, --

Maureen my Love! we wore her triple leaf, --
At the altar steps her triple leaf we wore:
We must not in our joy forget her grief,
Maureen Asthore.

August 12, 1909
