First Line: I wish thee length of days

Alternate Author Name(s): Chandler, Ellen Louise
Subject(s): Wishes


I WISH thee length of days
Filled full of all that's best --
Long years to earn thy bays,
Then twilight time for rest.

I wish thee love and joy --
Love that is strong and sweet --
Gladness without alloy;
A heart with thine to beat.

And then, when Earth has given
Her best and most to thee,
At last I wish thee Heaven --
Then come again to me!
