The following poem, composed by Mrs
Rodney d. Hall OF Orwell was read;
Far off We near the merry bells.
And loving hearts are young,
While eye to eye looks love again
And g 1esier e s1ow Sst tie MAIDEN: cheek
| Where bushes come and go,
And wedding bells were ringing then,
just fifty years ago.
50 hand in hand they followed on
Adown the path OF years,
While sladness kissed sons way,ide flowers.
"A And s some .e, we're ei, wet with tears;
With love still beckoning on,
They hear again the joyous chime
| As on their wedding morn.
But thoss we're silver bells that rung,
They told of bygone years
Darkened with hopes and fears;
Both Joy and gladness rule our lives
And tims sG 1ast ns smSr IN ' ss hgh,
To ring the silver bells.
Once S. more ore, the passing yesr arab have fed.
With but a softer swell.
The mellow music dies away
That drops into the shades of night
From darker realms afar.
o, Golden Belsl how sweet to hear,
WI When youth has passed from view,
Aud dimmed its radiant hue.
The frosted hair and faded cheek
Than when we loved each other well
just fifty years ago.
We've walked together in the shade
| When shadows dimmed the way.
We've walked together In the light
When dawned a happier day.
We're travelling down the sloping hill
Towards life's setting sun.
And hand in hand will journey
Till our lifes work Is DONE
May every heetng year that falls
Hang like a pendant bright
Around those golden bells which ring
So sweetly here tonight
Till sparkling like brilliant set
within some jeweled crown
|, | These golden bells will ring again
With diamonds clustered round.
