 Though gray each brow tfGt nieets us now,' For age brings wnlry weather,
 Yer nnught can be go sweet to see,'
 Asthose old friends together
 Ths few long known, whom years have shown,'
 With hearts that friendship blesses;

 To soOth friends distreSses;
 Who helped and tried, still side by side,,
 A friend to face hard weather,
 Oh, thus may we yet joy to see
 And meet oldtriends together!
