Oh! Friendship!

Oh! Friendship! Precious gift of hearts,
Miles, oceans, cards and sweetheart parts…
We page and stretch our loving hooks,
But could they really serve for routes?
Which could the continents connect,
From heartbreak, loneliness protect…

Don’t dwell your thoughts upon this thing.
Remember only, bells will ring
And touch the thinnest strings of soul,
The arrow-love will hit the goal.
