'Be patient ' Overhead | A |
The skies were drear and dim | B |

Smited on my heart and then | C |
The sun shone out again | C |

'He is my friend ' The words | D |
Brought summer and the birds | D |
And all my winter time | E |

So may it sing alway | H |
Though waving grasses grow | I |
Between and lilies blow | I |
Their trills of perfume clear | J |
As laughter to the ear | K |
Let each mute measure end | L |
With 'Still he is thy friend ' | - |
