He sat beneath the curling vines	A
That round the gay verandah twined	B
His forehead seamed with sorrow s lines	A
An old man with a weary mind	B
	-
His young wife with a rosy face	C
And brown arms ambered by the sun	D
Went flitting all about the place	C
Master and mistress both in one	D
	-
What caused that old man s look of care	E
Was she not blithe and fair to see	F
What blacker than her raven hair	E
What darker than her eyes might be	F
	-
The old man bent his weary head	G
The sunlight on his gray hair shone	H
His thoughts were with a woman dead	G
And buried years and years agone	H
	-
The good old wife who took her stand	I
Beside him at the altar side	J
And walked with him hand clasped in hand	I
Through joy and sorrow till she died	J
	-
Ah she was fair as heart s desire	K
And gay and supple limbed in truth	L
And in his veins there leapt like fire	K
The hot red blood of lusty youth	L
	-
She stood by him in shine and shade	M
And when hard beaten at his best	N
She took him like a child and laid	M
His aching head upon her breast	N
	-
She helped him make a little home	O
Where once were gum trees gaunt and stark	P
And bloodwoods waved green feathered foam	O
Working from dawn of day to dark	P
	-
Till that dark forest formed a frame	Q
For vineyards that the gods might bless	R
And what was savage once became	Q
An Eden in the wilderness	S
	-
And how at their first vintage time	T
She laughed and sang you see such shapes	U
On vases of the Grecian prime	T
And danced a reel upon the grapes	U
	-
And ever as the years went on	H
All things she kept with thrifty hand	I
Till never shone the sun upon	H
A fairer homestead in the land	I
	-
Then children came ah me ah me	F
Sad blessings that a mother craves	V
That old man from his seat could see	F
The shadows playing o er their graves	V
	-
And then she closed her eyes at last	W
Her gentle useful peaceful life	X
Was over garnered with the past	W
God rest thee gently Good Old Wife	X
	-
His young wife has a rosy face	C
And laughs with reddest lips apart	Y
But cannot fill the empty place	C
Within that old man s lonely heart	Y
His young wife has a rosy face	C
And brown arms ambered by the sun	H
Goes flitting all about the place	C
Master and mistress both in one	H
	-
But though she sings or though she sighs	Z
He sees her not he sees instead	G
A gray haired Shade with gentle eyes	Z
The good old wife long dead long dead	G
	-
He sits beneath the curling vines	A
Through which the merry sunrays dart	Y
His forehead seamed with sorrow s lines	A
An old man with a broken heart	Y
