ue and hair of gold,We listened to a story by a sweet-faced lady told ;Yes, in the twilight of her life, when she was old and gray,We loved to hear the story of Grandmaswedding-day. There was a lack of bridal gifts—no gold and silver fine,No jewels from across the sea, upon her brow to shine;A man in homespun clothes stood up and gave the bride away—For all was sweet simplicity on Grandmas wedding-day. There was no surpliced minister, no bellabove them hung, They stood upon the forest sward, this couple, fair and young;And when the parson called them one and wished them years of bliss,The groom received his only gift—a soft and holy kiss. A cabin in the forest stood to welcome home the pair,And happy birds among the trees made music on the air;She was the reigning backwoods belle—the bride so fair and gay—And that is why the birds were glad upon her wedding-day. Thus life began for Grandma, in the forest dim and old,And where she lived a city stands, with stateliness untold;
