FRIENDS UNBORN, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: With this one friend - I ask no more
Last Line: By his great love of beauty.'
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Friendship


With this one friend – I ask no more –
To love me till I die,
I sing my songs that, after death,
My friends may multiply.
To make this world, when I am gone,
Think all the more of me –
Each time a rainbow's in the sky,
Or bird is on a tree.
That God may say, when I am judged –
'This sinner did his duty:
Who made men worship Me the more,
By his great love of beauty.'
