A FRIENDLY WISH.

(To M. H., on his Silver Wedding-Day.)
Take my warm wish for this your happy Day,—
Sweet with spent griefs, if glad with joys unspent,
Remembering that one happier far away;
And let wild March bear flower of heart's-content
154

For you, while the white sun, now noon-beholden,
Sinks slow, until your Silver Day be Golden!
