The Messrs Inman have no trace Of

HAPPY new YEAR!
A HUNDRED YEARS TO COME.

Who'll press for gold this crowded street
A hundred years TO come:
Who'll tread your church with willing
feet,
A hundred years TO come?
Pale, trembling age and fiery youth,
And childhood with its brow OF truth,
The rich and poor, on land. oD sea,
Where will the mighty millions be,
A hundred years TO come?
We all within our graves shall sleep.
A hundred years to come:
No living soul for US shall weep,
A hundred years TO come.
But other men our land will till.
And o hers then our streets Will NIL,
And other words will sing as gay.
And bright the sunshine as to day,
Ahundred years to come.
