There is smile calm and serene,
Which plays across one light blue eye,
As some bright cloud is often seen,
Swift passing DER the azure sky.
ever loved to meet that smile,
AT morning dawn and evenlde,
And Join in converse for while,
Forgetting all things else beside.
There is voice so gently clear,
Whose echon now has died away,
But TO my memory will be dear
Forever, even as to-day.
l ever loved that voice to greet
With words of friendship warm and true
And hear its melodies so sweet
And cheering, as the morning dew.
There is hand so snowy white;
As tender as a fresh blown flower;
As bcauteous as the morn's first light
Breaking within some fragrant bower.
love to press that hand in mine,
Whose touch reveals heart sincere;
Void of a coquette's vile design,
And glowing with friendship pure.
Then hast thee on thy tireless wing,
Thou never resting bird of time,
Speed on and robcless autumn bring,
To wait me too my native cline.
Bear thou the smiles ofother days,
The songs love to hear,
The hand whose gentle touch portrays
The owners heart sincere.

"Thc undersigned, members of the thirty.frst

passed at the last session Of Congress, do hereby
