BY J. PITMAN (WHO DIED 1825).

Encircled thus by those you love,

May each successive Birthday prove

A source of new delight, nor cast

A single shade upon the past.

Thus ever may thy placid brow

And playful smile bespeak, as now

The peace that cheers thy gentle breast,

And bids thee still in hope be blest.

And thus may each revolving year

Still leave thy cheek without a tear;

Still Virtue strew thy flowery way

With sweets that never know decay.
