Sentimental Sunday - Alec Morgan

My Great Grand Uncle, Alexander Morgan, married miss Lavinia Stuart on the 5th of February 1894 at Pauatahanui, Porirua, Wellington, New Zealand.  

He wrote this beautiful wedding poem to her using each letter of her name to begin each line.  

copy of this card written by Alexander Morgan was kindly given to me by his great great grandchildren

                  Look  down ye angels from above

                  And guard the darling one I love

                  Vanish all evil from off her way

                  Impart heavens blessings day by day

                  No sorrow cloud that dear sweet face

                  Imprinted with such holy grace

                  And open to the world to trace

                  So innocent and pure is she

                  That 'tis I pray her life may be

                  United with all peace and love

                  And guarded by thee from above

                  Receiving her when life is o'er

                  To rest with thee for evermore.
