Could we dream to-day would find us
At this table--me and you?
Better so, no doubt--and yet I
Sometimes think--I can not tell--
Had our boy--ah, yes! I know, dear;
Yes, “He doeth all things well.”
Well, we’ve had our joys and sorrows,
Shared our smiles as well as tears;
And--the best of all--I’ve had your
Faithful love for forty years!
