TO MARK TWAIN

Henry Van Dyke

With memories old and wishes new We crown our cups again, And here's to you, and here's to you With love that ne'er shall wane!

And may you keep, at sixty-seven, The joy of earth, the hope of heaven, And fame well-earned, and friendship true, And peace that comforts every pain,

And faith that fights the battle through, And all your heart's unbounded wealth, And all your wit, and all your health,— Yes, here's a hearty health to you,

And here's to you, and here's to you, Long life to you, Mark Twain.
