Married Happiness[1]
Up crooked Southern trees
Are climbing creepers’ vines;
On lords whom their wives please,
Quiet happiness shines.
The crooked Southern trees
Are covered by grapevines;
On lords whom their wives please,
Greater happiness shines.
Round crooked Southern trees
Are twining creepers’ vines;
On lords whom their wives please,
Perfect happiness shines.
[1]A wife was to her lord as the vine was to the tree.
