Translation to English
Receive now, my dear, this small gift,
And be mindful of:
That I am yours and you are mine;
I bestow to you in love
A faithful heart, a faithful mind.
Loyalty and true love
With sincere intention to you.
This is my wish to you
Your faithful bridegroom, Franz Janzen
To my dearly beloved bride, Elizabeth Goerzen
On the day of our engagement,
The 27th of October, 1822.
