Love and Friendship.

Of what are all the joys we hold,
Compared to joys above usl
And what are rank and power and gold
Compared to hearts that love us2
So dry the bowers, so few the flowers,
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoOp, where daises droop,
Than tramp Ger broken roses!
The barren fig, the withered vine,
Are types Of selfish living;
But souls that give, the same as thine,
Renew their life by giving.
So feet our years, so full of tears,
So closely death is waiting
God give US space for loving grace,
But leave no time for hating.
