two months, less a day when the “two shall be one”
when the girl I give away to a soldier strong and brave
will love her with a heart that shall never fade nor run
because the love they have is a love that heaven gave

spent on one another with a wealth that can’t be reckoned
nor numbered in the thoughts of those who’ll try and fail
for love that’s true can ne’er be measured nor ever is it second
to dreams or wishes or worry’s sums that surely will assail

a two who are one in spirit, soul, and all
in imaginings, thoughts, and reveries
molded and composed
becoming individual
the two
yielding
one
