TO MY

FRIEND

carrying branches
of flowers

 
OF ALL THE GIFTS WHICH
HEAVEN BESTOWS,
THERE'S ONE ABOVE
ALL MEASURE,
AND THAT'S A FRIEND MIDST
ALL OUR WOES,
A FRIEND IS FOUND A
TREASURE.

TO THEE I GIVE THAT
SACRED NAME,
FOR THOU ART SUCH
TO ME,
AND EVER PROUDLY
WILL I CLAIM
TO BE A FRIEND
TO THEE.
