♦ “FRIENDSHIP.” ♦
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
Within the storehouse of our hearts
we place our friends;
And friends are not just those to
whom we say
A blank and cheerless “Howdy-de-do?”
—whose coldness blends
With those who merely pass the
time of day.
The consciousness of love doth weld
and mold as one
The hearts of those whose friendship
doth abide;
And joy eternal is the recompense and
none
Their fullest measure e’er shall be
denied.
Nor mortal counterfeit or sham shall
e’er deceive.
No seeming sense of doubt shall e’er
offend,
But on the perfect loom of life each
one shall weave
The warp of brother with the woof
of friend.
And from this cloth shall charity for
each one make
“The undivided garment”—fit and
free; i
And man with eye-to-eye so clear
shall in the wake
Os honor, friendship, love find
liberty.
—Frank C. Reighter, in the Chi
cago Sunday Herald. -
