Let falsehood assail not,
Nor envy disprove, —
Let trifles prevail not
Against those ye love! —
Nor change with to-morrow
Should fortune take wing;
But the deeper the sorrow
The closer still cling! —
Oh, be kind to each other! —
The night's coming on,
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone!
