Alas! to-day I would give everything
To see a friend's face, or hear a voice
That had the slightest tone of comfort in it.
Ah, how good it feels!
The hand of an old friend.
O friend! O best of friends! Thy absence more
Than the impending night darkens the landscape o'er!
Christus (1872)
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
You will forgive me, I hope, for the sake of the friendship between us,
Which is too true and too sacred to be so easily broken!
The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858)
My designs and labors
And aspirations are my only friends.
Yes, we must ever be friends; and of all who offer you friendship
Let me be ever the first, the truest, the nearest and dearest!
The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858)
