A BIRTHDAY GREETING TO MY FATHER, 1860, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tis fully known to one, by us yet dimly seen
Last Line: Blessing, thou shalt be blessed.
Subject(s): Blessings


'TIS fully known to ONE, by us yet dimly seen,
The blessing thou HAST BEEN;
Yet speaks the silent love of many a mourning heart
The blessing that thou ART;
While traced on coming years, in faith and hope we see,
'A blessing thou SHALT BE;'
Then here in holy labor, there in holier rest,
BLESSING, thou SHALT BE BLESSED.
