From the heart of a friend

by Unknown

How fair, my friend, and good to see thou art,

On pine or oak or wall thy name I do not blazon—

Love has too deeply graved it in my heart.

—Greek Epigram.

I breathed a song into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

For who has sight so keen and strong,

That it can follow the flight of a song;
