Sonnet to my wife

I loved you when I saw you first in Hall
A girl who sat and laughed as young men joked.
And then on evenings late on me you'd call
And eat my homemade cake, while I just hoped.

Or when you held my hand against the dark,
And promised you'd stay with me come what may
You read me books, and broke off at some part
In love to make me live another day.

They'll say it's now our evening, we should rest
But why, when there is so much still to do
Of travel, books, of every joy and zest
And my fair sweetheart every day to woo.

My promise made, to break it at my peril
To ever love and honour my wife Beryl
