My old woman and /,
Taking our share in the calm and the strife,
With the travellers passing by,
And though on our pathway the shadows are rife,
There's light in tho western sky.
Some losses and crosses, of course we've had
Ny old woman and I,
But, bless you! wo never found time to be sail,
And very good reason why.
We were busy a. bees, and we weren't mad
As TO stop in cur work 20 cry.
On our changeablc road We journeyed along,
lSgS1 Ny old woman and I,
The kindly companions We met in the throhg
Made our lives like vision fy;
And therefore the fow that imagined us wrong
i, scarosiy cost as a s!uglo aigh
The weak and the weary we've str:vrn to cheer.
Aiy old woman and Il;
For we each of US thought that duty while here
Was 70 do we'd be done by,
In the hope to exhibit balance clear
When the reckoning day is nigh.
