As glide the days so sweetly,
 Your union shall new graces wear.
 Be sanctifed completely:
 tender psalm your hearts shall sing
 Adown the years together,
 That Love and Hope united bring
 Such peaceful, sunny weather.
 And as the years so faetly wane.
 You near Life's western portal,
 May angels catch the soft refrain
 And make the psalm immortal.
 Good hearts and true in gloomy times
 Have tenderest communion,
 And sorrows bells are wedding chimes
 Of yet closer union.
 Then blessings on your aged heads;
 Serene the skies above you;
 Your souls be calm with Heavens peace
 And cheered by those who love you; And when life's gold grows dim and cold
 May your glad feet walk golden street And rest in Golden City. WHAT THE MACEDONIA REPORTER
