Poems (Sherwin)/The star of friendship
THE STAR OF FRIENDSHIP.
When dark despair was gathering round,
And friends had coldly all departed;
Hope sickened in the gloom profound,
And left me sad and broken hearted.
And friends had coldly all departed;
Hope sickened in the gloom profound,
And left me sad and broken hearted.
But Friendship's star arose, and shed
Its smiling beams across my way;
Once more I raised my drooping head,
And warmly hailed its kindling ray.
Its smiling beams across my way;
Once more I raised my drooping head,
And warmly hailed its kindling ray.
