Easter Greeting — (To My Wife Ruby)
When I think of the day
That we’re to part,
It brings a deep sigh
That weakens my heart.
Then it leaves my mind
So roamsome and blue,
For there’s my love
In memory of you.
In the heart of these roses
With their petals so gay
Is my love most tender,
With each breath they’ll spray.
Here’s solemn hopes
With love so true,
May these roses touch your heart
Through and through.
And when their petals wither
To blow on the breeze,
Remember love is deeper
Than any place in the seas.
