XXXVI. TO FRIENDS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR WEDDING-DAY.

Your wedding-day,—God make it bright
With earthly and with heavenly light:
So friends, both near and far away,
On this auspicious morning pray:
God deck its shining hours in white!
As Memory brings the Past to sight,
Thank Him who led your steps aright,
And with a wreath of praise array
Your wedding-day.
And if you miss one sunny ray
Which for a moment cheered your way,
Think of the blossom of delight
That waits you on that happy height,
And blesses now, as well he may,
Your wedding-day.
