WHAT treasure greater than a friend Who close to us hath grown? Blind fate no bitt'rer lot can send Than bid us walk alone. For solitude doth cause a dearth Of fruitful, blessed thought, The wise would pray to leave this earth, If none their friendship sought. Yet sad though loneliness may be, That friendship surely shun That feigns to love, and inwardly Betrays affections won. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
