GOLDEN WEDDING OF DEAR MR. & MRS. CLARK, BELLE-VUE BUILDING, CHELTENHAM.
TIME has but touched with kindly wing,
Lightly on thy silvery hair:—
Gay garlands did he only fling,
By fifty years ago my fair!
Lightly on thy silvery hair:—
Gay garlands did he only fling,
By fifty years ago my fair!
Soft as the rose on summer morn,
Is alone thy joyous smile;—
And never in thy face is borne
E'en a trace I ween of guile!
Is alone thy joyous smile;—
And never in thy face is borne
E'en a trace I ween of guile!
Then time was young, nor doubt, nor care,
O'er thy fair face a shade had cast;
Fond youth, and love did only bare
The glory of the sunny past!
O'er thy fair face a shade had cast;
Fond youth, and love did only bare
The glory of the sunny past!
