riet E. Ware:
Five and twenty years have come and
gone,
Since first you sailed your bark to-
gether,
Which true and staunch has f1oated on,
Unharmed by wind or weather.
With courage ever strong and brave,
And faith in God above,
You've breasted many a stormy wave
Safe guided by the pilot, Love.
So may you onward safely sail,
Hopes anchor holding fast
Mid every storm and gale,
Until you reach Gods port at last.
