Past grand worthy matron, tried and

With pleasure I present to you
This bouquet of varied hue;
And as 1t slowly fades away,
AS 1t surely will, from day to day,
May it's fragrance linger long
AS a melody of song
Leaves it's echo when it's gone.
AS the memory of happy dream
Makes our mind with fancies TEEN,
So may its fragrance with you stay,
And remind you for many day.
OF the friends gathered here tonight,
Who wish you life, long and bright.
