To MY Wife.

It's five and twenty years ago
Since we first knew each other,
And more than twelve and eight and two
That we have liv'd together.
had no wealth and you were poor,
We've had to toll for bread,
But there is no reason why we should
Regret that we were we'd
Dark days as we'll as bright We've had,
u lshine and storm and rain,
Yet we would not risk the chances,
And live life DER again.
Our children are mine of wealth.
More precious than pure gold,
The love they kndled In our hearts
No words have ever told.
Four girls the issue of our VOWS.
Lovely and good and trne.
They shine far brighter in our crowns
Than sunshine in the dew.
More to us than worldly goods,
They constitute our wealth.
Rich treasures in land and sea,
Our joy and peace and health
In looking back the time seems short,
That we have liv'd together.
Our sky sometimes was black with clouds,
But most we had fair weather.
God bless the day we plighted faith,
faith we've never denied.
The chords of love that bound us then
Have never been united.
We cannot say we have no scars,
Perhaps some sores unhea1'd
But Cupid wounds the human heart
That love may be reveal'd.
But you and have passd the line
That marks the half of life.
The pleasures and the peace we've had
We're not lnmixed with strife.
Some times my words and acts were harsh
And yours not always kind;
A perfect husband, perfect wife,
This world will never find.
The best of men at times will be
Morose, unkind, and rough:
The best of women sometime give
A quick and sharp rebuff
But taking all in all, dear wife,
We have no cause for shame;
And neither to the other now
Would think OF giving blame
WIN. JOSEPH JONES'
