Joseph Hyrum Neville's Love Poem to Annie West

Dear Annie,

You and me together will be bound
A loving fair will be
It is the will of Charles and Eliza West
That we should marry and do our best
To let us try and stand the test
Joseph Neville and Annie West
Of all the girls ever sparkled
You are the jewel of my heart
Let us try and never part
You and me together will be one
As soon as my house is done
The fifth of May is the appointed day
If I have money to pay my way
We’ll not postpone the day

By yours truly,
Joseph H. Neville
