FOE GEETLEBAE's AUTOGRAPH ALEUK.
Life my friend. is ike the sea.
That changes 70 an hour,
Gay that may be bright 10 thee,
Yet ciose with heavy shower.
There may be days OF happiness
Or years OF darkest gloom.
Or everlasting Wearfucss
As life has lost Its bloom.
But you, my friend, deserve fate
Both bright and free from pain.
With heGiin and wealth ana a worthy mate
To share your honest name.
May she be bonny. bright aud pure,
WIKI lovely golden hsir.
And deep blue eyes that viii insure
Her belBg good and fair.
And may your joys be ocean deep,
Your EorTons Ike The FOAM
Your family perfect harmony keep,
And peace reign in your home.
Alc ere these blessings al spent,
To heaven raise yOEr eyes
Thank God for hli the good He's sent
Be upright, pare and wise.
