When days grow cold the swallow flies, Till sunshine bright returneth; When life grows dark false friendship dies: True friendship brighter burneth. An angel fair, twin-born of Love, It lights life's pathway for us; And like the stars that shine above, At night beams brighter o'er us. Then if in life a friend you'd find, Be careful how you choose one; True friends are scarce among mankind: A trifling thing may lose one. BROTHERLY LOVE. SET TO MUSIC AND PUBLISHED. There's a place in this world, free from trouble and strife, Which the wise try their hardest to find, Where the heart that encounters the sharp thorns of life Will meet nought that's harsh or unkind; Where each tries his best to make joy for the rest-- In sunshine or shadow the same; Where all who assemble in Friendship's behest Are Brothers in heart and in name. Let brotherly love continue-- Let the flag of the Craft be unfurled; We 'll join hand-in-hand While united we stand: 'Tis the way to get on in the world. There's a pleasure in life go wherever we may, 'Tis one of all pleasures the best-- To meet as we travel by night or by day One friend that's more true than the rest. Whose heart beats responsive to Friendship and Love, In Faith, Hope, and Charity's call; Who, blind to our follies, is slow to reprove, And friendly whate'er may befal. Let brotherly love continue-- Let the flag of the Craft be unfurled; We 'll join hand-in-hand While united we stand: 'Tis the way to get on in the world. Then let us, my brothers, through life's busy scene, Should sadness or sorrow appear, Be true to our promise, as others have been, And strive the dark pathway to cheer. Our stay is but short in this valley below; On all sides we troubles may scan; Let us help one another wherever we go, And make them as light as we can. Let brotherly love continue-- Let the flag of the Craft be unfurled; We 'll join hand-in-hand While united we stand: 'Tis the way to get on in the world. ENGLAND AND FRANCE. WRITTEN DURING THE CRIMEAN WAR. (FOR MUSIC.) Let the proud Russian boast of his granite-bound coast, And his armies that challenge the world; Let him stand in his might against Freedom
