Are Ceremony Readings and Vows the Same
Modern couples are taking to personalization similar never before, and one meaningful way to do this is having unique wedding ceremony readings that speak to you lot. A wedding reading is typically performed by a family unit member or friend after the processional takes place and the officiant has given the welcome and introduction. Information technology's a heartwarming fashion to convey what love, marriage, and delivery ultimately mean to you. In the past, about weddings featured the same passages for this portion of the ceremony, just more and more than couples are embracing what makes them + their human relationship unique, so they're looking to literature, poetry, movies or songs instead! The possibilities are countless when you open these alternative channels, and today we wanted to share our favorite unique nuptials ceremony readings we've seen of belatedly. Here's to feeling inspired!
1. From Beginning to End past Robert Fulghum
You have known each other from the first glance of associate to this point of delivery. At some point, y'all decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of aye, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way. All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks—all those sentences that began with "When nosotros're married" and continued with "I will and y'all will and we will"—those belatedly nighttime talks that included "anytime" and "somehow" and "possibly"—and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the centre. All these common things, and more than, are the existent process of a wedding ceremony. The symbolic vows that you are virtually to make are a mode of saying to ane another, "Y'all know all those things nosotros've promised and hoped and dreamed—well, I meant it all, every word." Wait at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you take been many things to i another—acquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, and even teacher, for you have learned much from 1 another in these terminal few years. Now y'all shall say a few words that take y'all across a threshold of life, and things will never quite be the same between y'all. For later these vows, yous shall say to the world, this—is my husband, this—is my wife.
2. Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres
Love is a temporary madness, information technology erupts like volcanoes and and then subsides. And when information technology subsides, you lot have to make a decision. Y'all have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, information technology is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the mean solar day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't chroma, I am telling you some truths. That is just beingness "in love," which any fool can practise. Love itself is what is left over when being in dear has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
3. One Hundred Years of Confinement past Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez
Madly in love after so many years … they enjoyed the miracle of loving each other as much at the tabular array as in bed, and they grew to be and so happy that even when they were two worn-out old people they kept on blooming like little children and playing together like dogs.
iv. Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
What I'm feeling, I think, is joy. And it's been some time since I've felt that blinkered blitz of happiness. This might exist one of those rare events that lasts, ane that'll be remembered and recalled as months and years current of air and ravel. I of those sweet, significant moments that leaves a footprint in your mind. A photograph couldn't ever tell its story. Information technology'south like something you have to live to understand. One of those freak collisions of fizzing meteors and looming celestial bodies and floating debris and one single beautiful red ball that bursts into your life and through your torso similar an enormous firework. Where things shift into focus for a moment, and everything makes sense. And information technology becomes one of those things inside y'all, a pearl among sludge, one of those big exaggerated memories you can invoke at whatever moment to peel away a petty layer of how yous felt, like a lick of ice foam. The flavor of grace.
I of those sweet, meaning moments that leaves a footprint in your heed. A photo couldn't e'er tell its story. It'south like something y'all take to live to understand.
5. The Book of Ecclesiasticus
A loyal friend is a safe shelter: whoever finds one has indeed plant a treasure.
A loyal friend is something beyond cost, there is no measuring his worth.
A loyal friend is the elixir of life, and those who respect the Lord will find 1.
Whoever respects the Lord makes true friends, for as a person is, and then is his friend too.
6. Dear Sonnet 17 past Pablo Neruda
I don't love yous as if you were the table salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate burn:
I beloved you equally certain nighttime things are loved,
Secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the institute that doesn't bloom and carries
subconscious within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your dear, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.
I honey you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way considering I don't know any other manner of loving
merely this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my breast is my manus,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
I honey y'all as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries hidden within itself the lite of those flowers, and thanks to your love, darkly in my body lives the dense fragrance that rises from the world.
7. Untitled by R.M. Drake
You will be the clouds
and I volition be the sky.
you will exist the ocean
and I will exist the shore.
you will be the trees
and I will be the air current.
whatever nosotros are, you and I
will always collide.
8. The New Beginning by Kolapo Olufunk
"Similar the warmth of the morning lord's day,
So do thoughts of y'all embrace me,
Revealing how alive I am
A glorious light of the new mean solar day,
so is your presence in my life,
relieving it of its shadows,
and marking the start of a new kickoff."
9. The Art of Marriage by Wilferd A. Peterson
The piffling things are the big things. It is never being likewise old to concord easily.
It is remembering to say "I beloved you" at least one time a 24-hour interval.
It is never going to slumber angry.
It is at no fourth dimension taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not stop with the honeymoon,
it should continue through all the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is continuing together facing the earth.
Information technology is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.
Information technology is doing things for each other, non in the attitude of duty or cede,
simply in the spirit of joy.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating
gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not expecting the hubby to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an affections.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a humour.
It is having the chapters to forgive and forget.
Information technology is giving each other an temper in which each can grow.
Information technology is finding room for the things of the spirit.
It is a common search for the skilful and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is non only marrying the right partner, information technology is being the correct partner.
10. Ever by Lang Leav
You were y'all
and I was I;
we were two
before our time
I was yours,
earlier I knew
and you take always
been mine besides.
11. How Practice I Dear Thee past 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 tin reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and platonic Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet demand, past sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, every bit they plow from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's organized religion.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I dearest thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but honey thee better later on expiry.
12. Dear'southward Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of sky mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single:
All things by a law divine
In some other'due south being mingle—
Why non I with thine?
Run across, the mountains buss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could exist forgiven
If information technology disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams osculation the bounding main;
What are all these kissings worth,
If 1000 kiss not me?
13. Untitled by Christina Rossetti
What is the kickoff? Love. What the class. Love even so. What the goal. The goal is Dear. On a happy loma Is there aught and so but Love? Search we sky or earth At that place is nothing out of Love Hath perpetual worth; All things flag but simply Dear, All things fail and flee; There is null left just Love Worthy you and me.
xiv. Cached Low-cal by Beau Taplin
Dwelling is non where
you are from
it is where
you lot belong.
Some of us
travel the whole
world to observe it.
Others,
find it in a person.
15. A Wedlock by Mark Twain
A marriage makes of two partial lives a whole;
Information technology gives two purposeless lives a work,
And doubles the strength of each to perform information technology.
It gives to two questioning natures a reason for living
And something to live for.
It will give new gladness to the sunshine,
A new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth
And a new mystery to life.
16. When Harry Met Sally
I dear that you lot get cold when it'southward 71 degrees out. I dearest that it takes you an hour and a half to social club a sandwich. I honey that you become a little crinkle above your nose when you lot're looking at me similar I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the solar day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I dear that you are the last person I want to talk to earlier I get to sleep at night. And it's not considering I'one thousand lonely, and information technology'southward not because it's New year's day's Eve. I came here tonight considering when you realize you desire to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you desire the rest of your life to start equally before long as possible.
17. The Wedding Vocaliser
I desire to brand you smiling whenever you're sad. Behave yous around when your arthritis is bad. All I want to do is grow erstwhile with you. I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches. Build y'all a fire if the furnace breaks. Oh it could be and then nice, growing erstwhile with you lot. I'll miss you, Kiss you, Requite yous my coat when yous are cold. Need you, Feed you, Even let you agree the remote control. And so let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink. Put you lot to bed if you've had too much to drink. I could exist the human being who grows old with y'all. I want to grow erstwhile with you.
18. Les Miserables past Victor Hugo
The hereafter belongs to hearts even more than information technology does to minds. Love, that is the but thing that can occupy and make full eternity. In the space, the inexhaustible is requisite. Love participates of the soul itself. Information technology is of the same nature. Like it, it is the divine spark; similar it, it is incorruptible, indivisible, imperishable. It is a point of fire that exists within us, which is immortal and infinite, which goose egg can confine, and which nothing can extinguish. We experience it called-for even to the very marrow of our bones, and we see information technology beaming in the very depths of heaven … What a grand thing information technology is to exist loved! What a far grander thing it is to love! The heart becomes heroic, by dint of passion. It is no longer composed of anything but what is pure; information technology no longer rests on anything that is non elevated and peachy. An unworthy thought can no more germinate in it, than a nettle on a glacier.
19. Sex and the Urban center
His hello was the end of her endings.
Her express mirth was their beginning stride downward the aisle.
His hand would be hers to hold forever.
His forever was as elementary as her smile.
He said she was what was missing.
She said instantly she knew.
She was a question to be answered.
And his answer was "I do.
twenty. To Love Is Not To Possess by James Kavanaugh
To love is not to possess,
To ain or imprison,
Nor to lose 1'due south self in another.
Love is to bring together and separate,
To walk lone and together,
To find a laughing liberty
That lonely isolation does non permit.
It is finally to be able
To be who we actually are
No longer clinging in childish dependency
Nor docilely living separate lives in silence,
It is to be perfectly ane'southward self
And perfectly joined in permanent delivery
To another—and to ane'due south inner cocky.
21. The Span Across Forever by Richard Bach
A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safety enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we tin can be completely and honestly who we are; we tin be loved for who we are and not for who nosotros're pretending to be. Each unveils the best role of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around u.s., with that one person we're condom in our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When nosotros're ii balloons, and together our management is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soul mate is the 1 who makes life come up to life.
22. Ecclesiastes iv:9-12
"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they autumn, the ane will lift upward his beau: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, and then they have heat: just how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is non apace broken."
23. Song of Solomon 8:6-7
"Fix me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm;? for dearest is stiff every bit death, passion violent equally the grave. ?Its flashes are flashes of burn, a raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If ane offered for love all the wealth of one's house, it would be utterly scorned."
24. Colossians iii:12-17
"Every bit God's chosen ones, holy and dearest, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with i another and, if anyone has a complaint against some other, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven y'all, so you also must forgive. To a higher place all, clothe yourselves with beloved, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And permit the peace of Christ dominion in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

25. Romans 12:ix-eighteen

Bless those who persecute you; bless and exercise not expletive them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who cry. Live in harmony with ane another; practise not exist haughty, but acquaintance with the lowly; do not claim to exist wiser than you are. Practice not repay anyone evil for evil, just take idea for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, then far as it depends on you lot, alive peaceably with all."

My whole centre. Volition exist yours forever. This is a beautiful get-go, To a lifelong love letter of the alphabet
Tell the world that we finally got it all correct. I choose you. I will get yours and y'all will become mine…
We are not perfect nosotros'll learn from our mistakes, And as long as information technology takes I will prove my love to you. I am not scared of the elements I am underprepared, Just I am willing. And even amend I get to be the other one-half of yous.
27. There Will Be Time by Mumford and Sons, featuring Baaba Maal
But in the cold low-cal I live to love and adore you lot
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
In the common cold light I live, I just live for you
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
28. Winnie the Pooh past A. A. Milne
If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together… in that location is something you must always retrieve. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you call back. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart… I'll always exist with you lot.
29. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
"What is Existent?" asked the Rabbit i 24-hour interval, when they were lying side by side near the plant nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.
"Does it mean having things that fizz inside you lot and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Pare Horse. "It's a affair that happens to y'all. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but actually loves you, then you become Real."
"Does information technology hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When yous are Real y'all don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at one time, like being wound upward," he asked, "or flake by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "Y'all go. It takes a long fourth dimension. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have precipitous edges, or who have to be advisedly kept. Generally, by the time yous are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you lot get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't affair at all, because in one case you are Real you lot can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
thirty. How Falling in Dearest is Like Owning a Dog by Taylor Mali
On cold winter nights, honey is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes y'all upward all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to exist fed and then it will abound and stay healthy.
Love doesn't like being left alone for long.
Just come home and love is e'er happy to run into you.
It may suspension a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
just yous can never be mad at love for long.
Is dear proficient all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.
Beloved makes messes.
Love leaves you fiddling surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning upward afterwards.
Sometimes y'all but want to become beloved fixed.
Sometimes you want to ringlet up a slice of paper
and swat love on the olfactory organ,
not and then much to crusade pain,
just to let dearest know, "Don't you always exercise that again!"
Sometimes beloved just wants to become out for a squeamish long walk.
Because love loves exercise. It will run you effectually the block
and go out you panting, breathless. Pull y'all in different directions
at once, or wind itself around and around y'all
until you lot're all wound up and you cannot motion.
But dear makes you lot meet people wherever yous become.
People who have cipher in common but love
finish and talk to each other on the street.
Throw things away and beloved volition bring them dorsum,
once more, and again, and once more.
Merely nigh of all, beloved needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.
31. Letter from Johnny Cash to June Carter (1994)
'Nosotros get sometime and become used to each other. We think akin. We read each others' minds. Nosotros know what the other wants without request. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit.
Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realise how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest adult female I ever met.'
32.Evelina past Frances Burney
"I revere you. I esteem and adore you higher up all human beings. You are the friend to whom my soul is attached as to its better one-half. You are the virtually amiable, the most perfect of women. And you lot are dearer to me than language has the ability of telling… Yous are now all my ain… How will my soul detect room for its happiness? Information technology seems already bursting!"
33. Wedlock Joins Two People In the Circle of Its Love past Edmund O'Neill
Marriage is a commitment to life,
the best that two people can find and bring out in each other.
Information technology offers opportunities for sharing and growth
that no other human relationship can equal.
Information technology is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime.Within the circle of its love,
union encompasses all of life's most of import relationships.
A wife and a married man are each other's best friend,
confidant, lover, instructor, listener, and critic.
And there may come times when 1 partner is heartbroken or ailing,
and the love of the other may resemble
the tender caring of a parent or kid.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life.
Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher,
commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more than strongly,
and passes away more quickly.
Spousal relationship understands and forgives the mistakes life
is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life,
new experiences, new ways of expressing
a love that is deeper than life.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage,
they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer
than any spoken or written words.
Marriage is a hope, a potential made in the hearts of two people
who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfill.
34.Wild Awake by Hilary T. Smith
"People are like cities: We all have alleys and gardens and undercover rooftops and places where daisies sprout between the sidewalk cracks, but most of the time all nosotros let each other meet is is a postcard glimpse of a skyline or a polished square. Love lets yous find those hidden places in some other person, even the ones they didn't know were there, even the ones they wouldn't have idea to telephone call beautiful themselves."
35.The History of Beloved past Nicole Krauss
"Once upon a time, there was a male child. He lived in a village that no longer exists, in a business firm that no longer exists, on the edge of a field that no longer exists, where everything was discovered, and everything was possible. A stick could be a sword, a pebble could be a diamond, a tree, a castle. In one case upon a fourth dimension, there was a boy who lived in a house across the field, from a girl who no longer exists. They made up a thousand games. She was queen and he was male monarch. In the autumn light, her hair shone like a crown. They collected the globe in small handfuls, and when the sky grew dark, they parted with leaves in their hair.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering."
36. Love is an Adventure by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
"Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops like the universe itself only by perpetual discovery. The only right love is that between couples whose passion leads them both, i through the other, to a higher possession of their being. Put your religion in the spirit which dwells between the 2 of you. You have each offered yourself to the other as a boundless field of understanding, of enrichment, of mutually increased sensibility. You will meet higher up all by entering into and constantly sharing one another'south thoughts, affections, and dreams. There lone, as yous know, in spirit, which is arrived through flesh, you will observe no disappointments, no limits. There alone the skies are always open for your dearest; there lone lies the slap-up road ahead."
37.Every Twenty-four hour period by David Levithan
"This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the globe. It makes you desire to cull the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from y'all, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it's only the two of y'all, solitary in a room, yous tin can pretend that this is how information technology is, this is how it volition exist."
38.A Farewell to Artillery past Ernest Hemingway
"At night, in that location was the feeling that nosotros had to come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to detect the other 1 there, and not gone away; all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other 1 woke also so one was not lone. Often a human being wishes to exist alone and a adult female wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when nosotros were together, lonely against the others. Nosotros were never lone and never afraid when we were together."
39.Lament: The Faerie Queen's Charade past Maggie Stiefvater
"Y'all're like a song that I heard when I was a picayune kid but I forgot I knew until I heard it again."
forty. Our Souls Are Mirrors by Rupi Kaur
god must have kneaded you lot and i
from the same dough
rolled us out as one on the baking canvas
must accept suddenly realized
how unfair information technology was
to put that much magic in one person
and sadly split that dough in two
how else is it that
when i expect in the mirror
i am looking at you
when you breathe
my own lungs fill with air
that we but met only we
have known each other our whole lives
if we were non made every bit 1 to begin with
41. I'll Be There For You by Louise Cuddon
I'll exist at that place my darling, through thick and through sparse
When your heed'south in a mess and your caput's in a spin
When your aeroplane'due south been delayed, and yous've missed the final railroad train.
When life is just threatening to drive you insane
When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page
When somebody tells you lot, you're looking your age
When your coffee's also absurd, and your wine is as well warm
When the forecast said "Fine", but you're out in a storm
When your quick break hotel, turns into a slum
And your holiday photos show simply your thumb
When you park for five minutes in a resident'southward bay
And return to detect y'all've been towed away
When the jeans that you bought in hope or in haste
Just stick on your hips and don't attain circular your waist
When the food you most like brings you out in carmine rashes
When as soon equally you boot up the bloody thing crashes
So my darling, my sweetheart, my dear…
When yous break a dominion, when you act the fool
When you've got the influenza, when you're in a stew
When you're final in the queue, don't feel blue 'cause
I'm telling you, I'll be there.
42. Variations On The Discussion Love by Margaret Atwood
This is a word we use to plug
holes with. Information technology'southward the right size for those warm
blanks in speech, for those ruby-red eye-
shaped vacancies on the page that look goose egg
like existent hearts. Add lace
and you can sell
it. We insert it as well in the i empty
infinite on the printed form
that comes with no instructions. There are whole
magazines with not much in them
merely the discussion love, you lot can
rub it all over your trunk and you lot
can melt with it too. How exercise we know
information technology isn't what goes on at the absurd
debaucheries of slugs under damp
pieces of paper-thin? As for the weed-
seedlings nosing their tough snouts upward
amidst the lettuces, they shout it.
Dearest! Love! sing the soldiers, raising
their glittering knives in salute.
Then in that location'southward the ii
of us. This word
is far too short for u.s.a., it has but
four letters, too sparse
to make full those deep bare
vacuums between the stars
that press on us with their deafness.
It's not love we don't wish
to autumn into, but that fearfulness.
This word is not enough simply it will
have to do. It'south a single
vowel in this metallic
silence, a mouth that says
O again and again in wonder
and pain, a jiff, a finger
grip on a cliffside. You can
hold on or let go.
43. Dearest Vocal by Henry Dumas
Beloved,
I have to admire the earth:
The current of air must have heard
your vocalism once.
It echoes and sings like you.
The soil must accept tasted
you once.
Information technology is laden with your scent.
The copse honor you lot
in gold
and blush when you lot pass.
I know why the north country
is frozen.
Information technology has been trying to preserve
your memory.
I know why the desert
burns with fever.
It was wept too long without you.
On easily and knees,
the ocean begs up the beach,
and falls at your feet.
I have to adore
the mirror of the earth.
You have taught her well
how to exist beautiful.
44.The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
"When he looked into her eyes, he learned the nearly of import part of the language that all the globe spoke — the language that everyone on Globe was capable of understanding in their eye. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the just woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. Because when yous know the language, it's piece of cake to understand that someone in the world awaits yous, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when ii such people encounter each other, the past and the future become unimportant. At that place is just that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything nether the sun has been written by one hand only.

48. I Saw Two Clouds at Morning time by John Brainard
I saw two clouds at morning time,
Tinged with the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on,
And mingled into one;
I idea that morning time cloud was blest,
It moved so sweetly to the westward.
I saw two summertime currents
Flow smoothly to their coming together,
And bring together their course, with silent forcefulness,
In peace each other greeting:
Calm was their course through banks of dark-green,
While dimpling eddies played between.
Such be your gentle motion,
Till life's last pulse shall vanquish;
Like summertime's beam, and summertime's stream,
Float on, in joy, to come across
A calmer sea, where storms shall finish—
A purer sky, where all is peace.

And limitless in magnitude
Beyond even my own comprehension
Your beloved brings me habitation
Enfolds me and warms me
In its eternal cover
Endless and palpable
Beyond all life'southward storms
A connection like no other
20 years long
Merely timeless in our hearts
Deep and truthful
Till' death usa do role."
