A mile with me
Who
will walk a mile with me
Along life’s merry way?
A
comrade blithe and full of glee,
Who
dares to laugh out loud and free,
And
let his frolic fancy play,
Like
a happy child, through the flowers gay
That
fill the field and fringe the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
And
who will walk a mile with me
Along life’s weary way?
A
friend whose heart has eyes to see
The
stars shine out o’er the darkening lea,
And
the quiet rest at the end o’ the day,-
A
friend who knows, and dares to say,
The
brave, sweet words that cheer the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
With
such a comrade, such a friend,
I
fain would walk till journey’s end,
Through
summer sunshine, winter rain,
And
then?-Farewell, we shall meet again!
Henry Van Dyke
