Here you will find the Poem Birthday Lines For K.B. of poet Joseph Furphy
Life is a Poem, short or long, A dismal Dirge, or jovial Song, A Psalm of faith, or Lay of Pride, One stanza by each year supplied. And thy sweet Hymn of love and truth, A carol of unfading youth, Which God hath given thee to rehearse, Enlightening others' chequered way, Is strengthened by a further verse Upon the gracious April day.
