Joined His Church + 

They tell us, May, that love is blind, + 

But dear, there’s something on my mind; + 

And since we now are engaged, + 

I hope you will not be enraged. + 

Can you, dear May, now bear the news + 

From the poor husband vou would choose; + 

I fear to tell you, but I must, + 

That I am a somnambulist. + 

Said she, “Dear Dick, I will not lurch, + 

But stick to you if that’s your church; + 

Though I own, as a tender maid + 

Of your belief I was afraid. + 

But now the name I do not heed, + 

And will adopt it as my creed; + 

Though, alas, she soon is weeping + 

To see her husband walking sleeping. + 
