Mid ths dews OF litc's young morning
once ye fingered hand in hand:
Now upon her silver summit,
Undivided still ye stand.
Long and winding was the pathway,
Varied Oft with ihorns and nowsrs,
While the cloudy, nery pillar
Led tho moon and midnight hours
So within the dim hereafter
Shall the mysthry be unsealed.
Ana the Sxyior's kind compassion
For your sorrow be revealed.
Now he whispers: Let the children,
Cnforb!ddsn. hithcr come,
And no fond parental yearning
Call them from their heavenly home.
You bright silver stsr OF evening.
How Is wrinkles for the crown
Laid up for you BY the Master
TIL 20 lay your armor
Nav your dArlings sweetly nestle
All in one unoroken sot,
And q triple NM dusi<
Sparklein your eoronet.
Der the cloud the sun is shining;
Nov Jou catch a silver ray,
Fragrant OF It's silver lining,
on your Silver Wedding Day.
smooth and gentle be your pathway
Down the evening side OF Ire;
Over all the thorns tread lightly,
Faithful husband, happy wife.
NAY your spirits, ever blending.
Each to other ne'er grow old.
JOYFUL hail your Silver Wedding
Laid In silver. set In gold.
