The sweet-peas that she gathers
Are destined for some jar
She walks the garden, scissors in hand
Not going (I’m glad) far
She’s back within the house now
And I can only hear
Suggestions of her presence
Which is to me so dear
This woman who’s so precious
You see’s my key to life
A life that’s heaven despite the blows
Because she is my wife.
I lead a blessed life.
