A FRIEND, by PETER ALFRED PETERSON First Line: Who is a friend? Perhaps you boast of many Last Line: And thus be known until my life shall end. Subject(s): Friendship | ||||||||
Who is a friend? Perhaps you boast of many, Perhaps you say, "I doubt if I have any." A friend is one who knows you through and through, And still is faithful and speaks well of you. A friend is one 'bout whom you need not worry, He changes not his friendship in a hurry. Such friends are few; so may I be a friend, And thus be known until my life shall end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
