    Birthday greetings
   From a friend,
   All thy meetings
   Peace attend.
   Time extended 
   Be thy store,
   Bliss appended
   Evermore.
   Did the flowers
  Born of May,
  From their bowers 
  Choose a day?

  Music ringing,
  On the air,
  Flowers springing
  Everywhere.

  Chanting gayly,
  Five and eight,
  Make the day we
  Celebrate.

  Where's the doctor?
  Can you tell,
  How she make her
  Patients well?

  Soul of beauty,
  Day by day,
  To her duty
  Hies away.

  With the sickest,
  Day and night,
  In the thickest
  Of the fight.

  Heaven's treasure
  Be thine end,
  Is the measure
  Of a friend.
