Dear Grandma is wiser but cheerful,

She sits by the window to-day;

Where the sunlight is kissing her forehead,

And children are near her at play.

Grey locks where your golden are seen;

She says God's loved hath illumined

Her life, and made easy each seam.

She, too, can think of a summer day,
