To a Friend
BY oRANTLAND Ricl

Others have given you gifts worth the keeping.
All that have is song;
All that have from the sowing and reaping.
Just thin melody, lifting and leaping,
Blown from the dust where the twilight comes Creep
Where you may wander along:
Thrown to the winds where the open road CLEANS.
Made up Of nothing but star dust and dreams
Others have given you things to remember.
All that have is song;
Gray Is the shadow-strung fields Of November,
Dull as the glow of slow-burning ember,
Thin as the first falling SHOWS of December
Sent to you out of the throng;
Only wandering, lyrical wrath,
Made up Of nothing but friendship and faith.
