BIRTHDAY MOTTOES: 5 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS, FULLEST, SWEETEST
Last Line: GILD THY NATAL DAY!
Subject(s): BIRTHDAYS;

BIRTHDAY blessings, fullest, sweetest,
Fall on thee to-day!
Earthly pleasure, fairest, fleetest,
Will not, cannot stay;
But the true and heavenly treasure
Cannot pass away:
May its richest, grandest measure
Gild thy natal day!
