POEM.
(From Miss c. ~, Washington.J
In answer to Mrs. r. M. NJ,
Washington, I am inclosing this
poem. Her request was for the
poem Should Go First" My poem,
which have had a good many years.
takes care of both sides very nicely.
I think it is beautiful poem and
I hope it will please her.
"sUPPoSING,"
suppose, dear wife, this day should be
The last on earth for you and me;
That one Of US, Efe's journey done,
Should never see another sun.
Arise before the smiling earth.
or see another spring days birth.
not vi Which ons Ts What should
Would not each moment of our stay,
Bring some new token on Its way,
OF fond regard, Of love supreme.
To make each flying moment seem
to o. he snH srh,
Would We not each do all we might
To make the others trials light?
Now very soon for ausht We know.
The call MAY come for one to so.
Then let us live each passing day.
As IL II were our last to stay.
You do for me: I'll do for you
And SO we'll pass life's journey through
And all there is of Heaven below.
Wen get each moment as We go,
