Beautiful lake, are seen mirrored in thee.
LINES WRITTEN FOR THE RE-UNION OF PASTOR AND PEOPLE.
To-night, as in this pleasant home we meet,
The friends of former years once more to greet,
Memory is stirred; and, looking in each eye,
We scarce can feel so many years have glided by,
Since this dear friend and pastor, whom we love,
Pointed us to the paths which lead above.
As once again, we open memory’s book,
Giving the past a retrospective look,
