To The Golden Wife

Title:     To The Golden Wife
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

With laughter always on the darkest day,
She danced before the very face of dread,
Starry companion of my mortal way,
Pre-destined merrily to be my mate,
With eyes as calm, she met the eyes of Fate:
"For this it was that you and I were wed--
What else?" she smiled and said.

Fair-weather wives are any man's to find,
The pretty sisters of the butterfly,
Gay when the sun is out, and skies are kind;
The daughters of the rainbow all may win--
Pity their lovers when the sun goes in!
_Her_ smiles are brightest 'neath the stormiest sky--
Thrice blest and all unworthy I!

[The end]
