THE WISH.
Take this wish, and may it be
Ever in thy heart enshrined,
That thy God may bless e'en thee
With a pure and spotless mind;
Ever in thy heart enshrined,
That thy God may bless e'en thee
With a pure and spotless mind;
That thy life to latest age
May with joys serenely flow,
With nought to ruffle virtue's page,
With nought the world would blush to know.
May with joys serenely flow,
With nought to ruffle virtue's page,
With nought the world would blush to know.
