And all were bright and gay. That was a* happy day for all, Who in the Northcott home Were met to see you truly wed And ne’er from each to roam. Since then the years have multiplied And now are twenty-five While glad ate we who present are That we are still,alive. And able to unite again In wishes good and true, For happiness and greater joys To follow both of you. Than you have had in former years Though you have happy been, But may the joys of future days Take on a finer sheen. Through passing years the Lord has blessed, Y-our home with children true,- Anj you have loved each other well In days both bright and ’blue. With one wish more, we greet you now, , As through the mist we gaze. That when full fittjy years are o’er And in June’s brightest days That you will plan with Happy thoughts And then will celebrate, Your Golden Wedding without fail, fail, With love and friends, dnd cake.
