“Friends . . old friends. . .
So it breaks, so it ends.
There let it rest.
It has fought and won,
And is still the best
That either has done.
Each as he stands
The work of its hands,
Which shall be more
As he was before?
What is it ends
With friends?”

And so they laughed.
Friends.
And before they knew it,
They were inseparable.”

Sweet courtesy has done its most
If you have made each guest forget
That he himself is not the host.”

He went away from me
There's nothing more to say
The poem ends,
Soft as it began-
I loved my friend.”
