CHARADE by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON

First Line: I HAVE LOVED, THROUGH YEARS OF HAPPINESS
Last Line: OF MY WHOLE ANOTHER GAIN.
Subject(s): FAMILY LIFE; HOME; MARRIAGE; RELATIVES; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;

I HAVE loved, through years of happiness,
My @3first@1 and @3second@1 well;
The maiden that I wedded,
And the home wherein I dwell.

Although on both encroaching,
My @3third@1 bring many a change,
From my @3first@1 nor from my @3second@1
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 @3whole@1 another gain.
