Jane Austen seems to be referring to the Gerry Eggleston poem in post 1209, "Times Together".

You may compare to my, "Dancing Together" of April 27, 2004.

Dancing Together

To play a song together, that lasts for all your life,
It helps that you can be good friends, although she is your wife.
They played this at our wedding. It was a merry tune.
And we’ve been dancing ever since, a lifelong honeymoon.

The music’s got some age on it. It’s slightly out of style,
We’ve added grace notes through the years, in keeping with a smile.
We danced the dance together. We walked together too.
I’d not have stayed so long to dance, except to dance with you.

The time has gone so swiftly, I guess we had our fun,
I know we’ll stay together, even when the dancing’s done.
So save the last dance for me. We know the music well,
And give a kiss at music’s end, this party has been swell.

P.S. It works better with Billie's picture.
