A BIRTHDAY GIFT.

MAY THY
BIRTHDAY
BE
[large space between image and words]
ALL HAIL TO THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTH
ON THIS MORN
FOR YOUR HEALTH AND PROSPERITY
ALWAYS I PRAY,
MAY YOUR LIFE BE ALL ROSES, AND
FREE FROM A THORN,
AND MAY YOU HAVE "MANY HAPPY
RETURNS OF THE DAY."
AND THOUGH YEARS ROLL BY WITH
UNVARYING ROUND,
AND OLD AGE CREEP ON, AS WE
TRAVEL OUR WAY,
YET STILL, WITH A LOVE THAT LIFE
ONLY CAN BOUND,
I'LL WISH YOU "A HAPPY RETURN
OF THE DAY."
