BIRTHDAY REVERE.
Twenty years on tines feet wing have brightly
zane hV. Y

Twenty years on tines feet wing have brightly
gone by.
Bearaiug round the dark cloud, which age bye
and bye,
Must bring with the question, art ready to die
Twenty Springs, twenty Summers see in my
dream,
Twenty Winters and Autumns with happincsste TEEN,
Each season itself was baled like beam
OF bright golden sunshine in the laugh of stream
Bovhoods day is far spent its night draweth near,
gaze back at its sunset with a sigh and tear,
But hopes brilliant stars on the horizon clear,
aud manhood's gray dawn, zephyr whispers i;
Twentv-one, ah that is as joyless TO me.
As a surf beaten rock in the deep troubled sea;
The wavelets OF care in the distance | u see,
And my happiest hours gone at my fond mothers
knee.
Ife's river fows on with its foods and its waves
Bringing gladness 90 some, all nearer our graves
We may glide for moment on the streams genue
heaves,
'Tlsthe whirlpool Of sorrow our gadnes' receives.
Ny young friends like sunbeams meath deaths
cloud disappear,
WHY should be lett and still an here,
By the longsuiiering Of God whose glories appear,
On the page OF the universe for man to revere
Oh man is but mortai his life is a span,
Fen il he live O. be threescore aud ten,
And though he reach four-score which few ever
can,
His strength is but sorrow and he is but man.
