TRUE FRIENDSHIP. 
The storm cloud comes o’er the autumn sky, 
And the flowrets fair, in their beauty die, 
But friendship true is an evergreen, 
That decayeth not, ’neath a sky serene. 
It blooms a plant, in the better land, 
Where the trees of light in their glory stand. 
And deathless still shall its beauties seem 
Till its fruit be love, in the Great Supreme. 
James S. .flylward.
