A SOUVENIR.

 
 
DEAR FRIENDS. MAY THIS
YOUR WEDDING MORN

WITH SMILES OF LOVE
AND PEACE BE BORN,

AND OFTEN COME
ON GOLDEN WINGS,

AND FULL OF LIFE'S
MOST PRECIOUS THINGS

MAY ANGELS THEIR
SOFT WINGS DISPLAY,

AND GUIDE YOU SAFE
THROUGH DANGER'S WAY.

IN EV'RY PLACE MOST
HAPPY MAY YOU BE,

AND WHEN FAR
DISTANT SOMETIMES
THINK OF ME.

LONG MAY YOU LIVE:
AND HEAVEN'S SMILE

YOUR EV'RY CARE
AND GRIEF BEGUILE;

AND WHEN YOUR
WEDDING DAYS ARE O'ER,

AND EARTHLY TIES
SHALL BIND NO MORE, -

MAY HEAVEN'S BRIGHT
GATES BE OPENED WIDE,

TO HAIL THE BRIDEGROOM
AND THE BRIDE.
