Joined hearts and hands for good or Ill.
The gives that bound us we have worn
With Joy, and love the letters still.
Some clouds have gathered DER our way,
But never failed the evening bow
or peace to shed its genial ray
On us, since fifty years ago.
And many happy days have passed,
though days grow brieter year by year,
Since in our home our lots we cast,
And sorrows footprints scarce appear;
And now we stand on liies Decline
And westward down the hill we 60,
My hand IN yours, and yours in mine,
Enclasped as fifty years ago.
No sad regrets bestrew our way,
No stumbling-stones OF hate or sorrow,
No mourning for the sad to-day,
No brooding of a gloomy morrow;
In quiet gladness on its breast,
With gently undulating flow,
Times current bears us nearer rest
And home-than fifty years ago
