ODE OF FRIENDSHIP
I'll sing to you a hymn of thanks, oh dear friend!
for making my everyday worth living
for teaching me that true love lies in giving
and with much ease my wrongs forgiving

I'll sing to you a hymn of love, oh dear friend!
the love that you, with no hesitation profess
and with kindness, this love you buttress
that I'm tempted to think of you as my fortress

I'll sing to God a hymn of praise, oh dear friend!
or to fate, whoever she might be
that leading me through life's trouble sea
a wonderful soul like yours she made me see
