A WISH.
I wish thee length of days
Filled full of all that's best—
Long years to earn thy bays,
Then twilight time for rest.
Filled full of all that's best—
Long years to earn thy bays,
Then twilight time for rest.
I wish thee love and joy—
Love that is strong and sweet—
Gladness without alloy;
A heart with thine to beat.
Love that is strong and sweet—
Gladness without alloy;
A heart with thine to beat.
And then, when Earth has given
Her best and most to thee,
At last I wish thee Heaven—
Then come again to me!
Her best and most to thee,
At last I wish thee Heaven—
Then come again to me!
