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.
