My friend

A. Malotte

Within my heart there is a feeling,

Forever tender and strong,

For you, my friend, who stand beside me

And urge my footsteps along:

Should fortune fail and shadows fall,

Your friendly hand would guide me.

Tho' time may part the paths we wander,

This feeling still will remain;

And when at last we go

Unto our journey's end,

We'll meet again,

My friend.
