dedicated to Rev. and Mrs. ]. NJ.
lCallaway on the occasion of the IF
tieth anniversary of their marriage by
their SON, Thomas NJ. Callaway)
A stalwart man and maiden fair
With faces all aglow.
Stood side by side, a happy pair
Just fifty years ago.
Their vows to each they pledged for
life
In accents soft and low.
Then one pronounced them man and
wife.
Just fifty years ago.
Their hearts were full of loves sweet
song,
Their hopes-a radiant bow.
Their faith in God and each was strong
Just fifty years ago.
The years have come and passed away
And left their veal and woe,
And two dear hearts look back today
To fifty years ago.
A crown of gold might well be laid,
A fitting thing we know.
Upon the brow of this man and maid
OF fifty years ago.
Long may they live TO bless our lives
AS DER the world we roam,
Wen love them while old time
abides,'
Then all be gathered home.
s As heavenly heights shall greet their
sight,
When earth's tolls are DER.
! Nav peace and JOY and blissful light
&c theirs forevermore.
