A WISH.

 I WISH thee length of days Filled full of all that's best—Long years to earn thy bays, Then twilight time for rest.  

 I wish thee love and joy— Love that is strong and sweet— Gladness without alloy; A heart with thine to beat.  

 And then, when Earth has given Her best and most to thee, At last I wish thee Heaven— Then come again to me!
