Subject: RE: Happy Marriage songs?
Sally Rogers' song, "LOVELY AGNES" written about her grandmother.

"Oh Agnes, won't you go with me?
We'll be married in style.
And we'll cross Lake Michigan
So blue and so wild.
We'll cross over Lake Michigan
Til we come to the shore
And our orchards will blossom for
Our babes as they're born."

"Now three score years have come and passed
Like the fruit on the trees
And our children have children
With babes on their knees
And we all join in the summertime
On the crystal lake shore
To greet lovely Agnes
Now twelve years and fourscore."

Linn
