MILE-STONES.
Mile-stones fair on the road of life,Thy birthdays bright appear—
One by one, erect and clear,
Triumphant, and with meaning rife.
Lead on, O birthdays of my friend,
With joy and peace between!
And be ye guides and monuments
Of all that he hath been,
And all he is, and yet shall be
Through time and blest eternity!
