FRIENDSHIP
When the heart's oppress'd by grief,
It seeks in vain to find relief
In Pleasure's maddening throng:
It seeks in vain to find relief
In Pleasure's maddening throng:
Though for awhile it may afford
Some little respite, yet the load
Returns with double weight.
Some little respite, yet the load
Returns with double weight.
But in a friendly faithful breast
It finds the haven of its rest,
And smiles in silent peace.
It finds the haven of its rest,
And smiles in silent peace.
