The passing shades, or sunny beams,
Were all united by the tie
That Iveth still, and shall not die,
Though fifty more shall run.

Two lives united in their flow,
To make one stream where flowers grow,
Serene AMI broad, as years pass by,
Like a calm mirror Of the sky,
To show the purer way.
And yet how short they seem
Turn but one leaf Of memory's page,
Let but but one thought the mind engage,
And al the years melt swift away
Il seems a golden yesterday,
And all the rest dream
\ golden wedding now
LIES golden dreams when youth was fair,
And love was vowed, and hope was there,
With VOWS redeemed, and harvest rare,
And perfumes in the autumn air,
And golden sunset on the brow.

Til all the race on earth is run,
Til all life's labor shall be done,
And ties on earth 50 richly given,
Snail lead to golden ties in heaven,
