Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEEDDFFGGFFFFFFH HHFIIFFJJJ| When we said I am thine'' and I am thine '' | A |
| We were as children crying a delight | B |
| Their hearts indeed divine | C |
| But cannot understand | D |
| The perfect wholeness of its depth and height | B |
| Urged by a power beyond our reach | E |
| Our tongues outran our hearts in speech | E |
| But now O now when we together stand | D |
| And lay each trusting hand in hand | D |
| At last within our hearts the rose | F |
| Of love doth fearfully unclose | F |
| To the full meaning of our marriage vow | G |
| We give not to each other only now | G |
| But both are given to one spirit that knows | F |
| Our hearts more deeply than we know and lies | F |
| A peace within our peace and beautifies | F |
| Hope and is wronged in our unhappiness | F |
| Weeps with our tears and suffers in our sighs | F |
| And waits to day our kiss to solemnize | F |
| O my beloved my Bride | H |
| Lo where we stand for whom in love and pride | H |
| Unnumbered generations wooed and died | H |
| Their prayers are on us and our heads they bless | F |
| And lo the generations all to come | I |
| Wait for us praying dumb | I |
| That we be true and from this day may rise | F |
| Life's lovely loyalties | F |
| To bind us ever nearer Cicely | J |
| Take all I am would it were worthy thee | J |
| And in thy love O make it so to be | J |
