COMMEMORATION. 



''THESE wedding bells for fifteen years 

 * Have rung alternate joys and knells, 

 Till now our deepened love endears 

 These wedding bells. 



These fifteen years, dear wife, have brought 



Much more of happiness than tears, 

 While Love has many lessons taught 

 These fifteen years. 



Love taught us, dear, that hearts are torn 

 By words and looks, as millstones tear; 

 That burdens shared, are easiest borne, 

 Love taught us, dear. 



As years go by, with ruddier glow 



Shall Love adorn our sunset sky; 

 And closer still our hearts shall grow, 

 As years go by.
