From the Saturday Eyeuing Post,
OUR WEDDING DAY.


BY hEs. NJ. e. TUCKER.
The frozen earth lies hid away,
Beneath the winters snow;
And 50 it was our wedding.day,
Just seven years ago,
We did not miss the summer flowers,
Nor mourn the winters rimo;
But blossomed in those hearts of ours,
The bliss of summer time.
o. Loyoi upon thy wings are borne
A blessing and balm;
The golden glory OF the morn,
The evenings peaceful calm |
Isee through all the mist OF years
(Wewill remember So
The lips that kissed away my tears,
Just seven years ago
The frozen earth lies hid away,
The winds Of winter moan;
Oh, darling lis our wedding,day,
And am here alone
Far on ihe tented field know,
Beneath our banner free,
The heart that fears no human foe,
Is soTOwful for me
And tears bcdim the eyes of blue,
Where tears had never shone,
The strong arms valiant brave and true
Do long to clasp his own
As stms in Mcmory's placid lake,
His chldren's faces shine;
And If he sleep or If he wake,
He will remember miuel
Wcllin his inmost heart he knows,
Whatever sorrow come
From faithless friends, or cruel foes,
Love waits for him at home.
Now as the waning day grows dim,
Que faccalone see;
Dear Lord be mercrul TO him,
Aud bring him back to me
Then will we when winters fall !.
Upon our locks with snow
Eilh mrcgretrul lips recall
The griels oflons ago.
How shall l greet The coming Spring,
Her voice Of bird aud bee,
Her bourgeoning and blossomng,
If mine return to ME
