In Memory's Living Light, This Scene Remains Poem by AFFAQ NABI

Recall the evening when wedlock first began,
In summer's bloom, with flowers all around,
As stars took their seats, and moon did shine,
Guests beneath the leafy bowers found.
My heart did race as you came into sight,
From hall to mother's kiss upon your brow,
Your brothers' tears fell silent; 'twas '88,
For losing you, their joy they would allow.
Hitherto, joy bloomed in our hearts that night,
For heaven chose a gentle soul for thee,
His father's sermon blessed the union's spirit,
The hall was filled with love and memory.
In memory's living light, this scene remains,
A cherished night when love did end all pains.
