I beseech you, husband
Be kind to me
And I beseech you, wife
Be fond with me
Travel closely with me
And keep me, loving, near
I am with you a lifelong time
Shorelines walked with truest hearts
With mind and soul and body
We face the world complete
And from our loving selves
May new life, joyful, leap.
This day is ours from which all springs
From here begin all our rememberings.
