"FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND TRUTH", by                    
First Line: "friendship doth bind, with pleasant ties"
Last Line: While e'er the human soul shall live
Subject(s): Friendship


FRIENDSHIP doth bind, with pleasant ties,
The heart of man to man, and age
But strengthens it -- it never dies
Till finished is life's final page.

Love is the sacred link which binds
Hearts joined by friendship firmer still;
Who once has felt it, in it finds
Joys which his soul with pleasure fill.

Truth only can complete the chain,
Its links enduring strength can give;
With this unbroken 't will remain
While e'er the human soul shall live.
