Prayer of a Husband
Lord,may there be no moment in her life
When she regrets that she became my wife,
And keep her dear eyes just a trifle blind
To my defects,and to my failings kind!
Help me to do the utmost I can
To prove myself her measure of a man,
But,if I often fail as mortals may,
Grant that she never sees my feet of clay!
And let her make allowances-now and then-
