Present: And I shall show him pictures dear Of all the happenings of this year. Future: But best of all I'll give him sight And on his future throw some light. Past: Mix studies, sorrows, and the joys Of each of the girls and boys. Season with madness, and laughter and tears The pot of recollections of their two and half years.
