Glover, Jan. "a, 1880.
Lines read at the SEVENTEEN anniver
sary visit of Mrs. Mary Strong, by Mrs
G. Stevens of West Glover:
How feet how dream-ke. time hath sped,
Full fraught with joy, and grief has been,
Since pilowed on your cradle bedl
How soon it's told, three score and teni
And comes there visions. bright, to-day
or childhood's home, of welded love,
Dear faces that have passed away,
Sweet voices now attuued above.
Your childhood friends, how few we see
Who taught Of temperance and of truth,
Who prayed the bondmen might be free,
Who sought the good of age and youth.
Your reverend sire they laid to rest;
Mother and sister are gone;
Nor half is told, tits Gods behest
Three birdlIngs of your nest are flown.
You drink the cup God gives again,
Lo. falls the husband of your youth;
Affections cup you now must drain,
Bereavement is your lot, in truth.
What can assuage your bitter grief;
What sorrows surgng waves control,
Can aught of earth give you relief,
Or quell the anguish of the soul?
Anon there comes the sacred word
mo sin, no sorrow, shall be there"
Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard"
al go a mansion to prepare"
What wonder then your cheerful face.
If 'aith and love your pathway light?
Well may you wait. loved ones embrace,
Till faith is changed to blissful sight
We come not to condole to-day,
