Sixty years through shine and shadow-
Sixty years, my gentle wife,
You and have walked together.
Down the rugged road OF life,
From the Hills of spring we started,
Aud through al the summer land,
iud the fruitful autamn country,
We have journeyed hand in hand.
We have borne the heat and burden,
Toiliug painfully and slow;
We have gathered in our harvest.
With rejoicing, long ago,
Leave the uplanls for onr children
they are strong to sow and reap;
Through the quiet winter lowlands
Now cur level way we keep.
We have had our time Of gadness
Twas proud and happy day
All . the proudest of oar journey
When we felt tlat We could say
If tie children God has given,
Looking fondy on the ton
Lovely women are our dausAters-
And our soas aro noble men =
We lave had our time Of sorry
Our time ofanxious fears,
When we could not see The milestones
