Though you and I are friends no more.

And in the volume of my years,

Where all my thoughts and acts shall be,

The page whereon your name appears

Shall be forever sealed to me.

Not that I hate you over-much,

'T is less of hate than love defied;

Howe'er, our hands no more shall touch,

We 'll go our ways, the world is wide.

BEYOND THE YEARS
