MARRIED COUPLES by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN LOVE IS STRONG IN MARRIED COUPLES
Last Line: HOW SHE AND I HAVE LOVED EACH OTHER!
Subject(s): LOVE - MARITAL; WEDDED LOVE; MARRIAGE - LOVE;

When Love is strong in married couples,
They grow in looks like one another;
Till strangers think they see a son,
And then a daughter, of one mother.
Come, Time, and make us look like twins,
My wife, my sister, I her brother;
That this amazing proof may show
How she and I have loved each other!
