诗歌：Be a Friend

　　Be a friend. You don't need money;

　　Just a disposition¹ sunny;

　　Just the wish to help another

　　Get along some way or other;

　　Just a kindly² hand extended

　　Out to one who's unbefriended;

　　Just the will to give or lend,

　　This will make you someone's friend.

　　Be a friend. You don't need glory.

　　Friendship is a simple story.

　　Pass by trifling³ errors blindly,

　　Gaze on honest effort kindly,

　　Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,

　　Pity him who's sadly sighing;

　　Just a little labor⁴ spend

　　On the duties of a friend.

　　Be a friend. The pay is bigger

　　(Though not written by a figure)

　　Than is earned by people clever

　　In what's merely self-endeavor.

　　You'll have friends instead of neighbors

　　For the profits of your labors⁵;

　　You'll be richer in the end

　　Than a prince, if you're a friend.
