May your Union prove
Viii Tho Man you choosed
To honor and Love While Life shal! last
May your years be many
And your days be long
And with each returning morn
May the Gates Of peace and honor and
plenty
BE open 10 thee with Some new joy
and happiness before unknown to cheer
thee
as adown The stream Of time you glide
and may happy bond that scaled your
VOWS
and tie pleasant ties that bind you here
BE severed onley when length Of years
have made Thee lizard Of Earthly Joys
aud when the expiring lamp Of Life
ceases to longer light Thee here
May an angel Of God attend thy dying
and Gently close the curtains Of death
around thy last and peaceful SLEEP OH
