The poem was published in “The Family Book of Best Loved Poems”, Edited by David L George and published by Doubleday & Company, Inc, Garden City New York, in 1952. It is used commonly in wedding speeches and is quoted frequently. The poet himself is a mystery. It is likely his nationality was American and lived sometime between the years 1905 and 1980.
