LINES TO A YOUNG LADY ON HER BIRTHDAY.
Reading edition
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.
