It's the kindly hearts of earth that make
This good old world worth while.
It's the lips with tender words that wake
The carc-erasing smile.
And | ask my soul this question when
My goodly gifts | see:
Am / a friend to as many men
As have been good friends TO me?
When my brothers speak word of prais,
My wavering will to aid,
l ASK If ever their long. long ways
My words have brighter made.
And to my heart ! bring again
This eager, earnest plea:
Make me a friend to as many men
AS are good staunch friends to me.
