The Briddle Path

******************





Luck kissed my brow and held me close

Said, ''I can no longer stay

My brother will watch over you

While I'm gone away"



"You two will get on fine," he said

But he really did not convince

The sun turned grey as he rode away

And I haven't seen him since



"I didn't catch your name," I said

Luck's brother answered so

"My name is Love," he said to me,

"I'm sad to see my brother go"



His teeth were straight and pearly white

His eyes the clearest blue

And when he spoke a second time

His voice was rich and smooth



"Look yonder," said Love and pointed

Then gave a winning little laugh

I saw the prettiest young thing with a wedding ring

Walk down the bridle path
