Hail gentle Friend ! this bliss be thine,
A kind and faithful Valentine,
A kindred soul and join’d above,
A heart replete with virtuous love;
And like my friend that bliss acquire,
Which few possess, but all admire,
That steady friendship, firm and true,
Which for eight years, I’ve found in you;
And when you’ve pass’d this vale of tears,
And done with all your hopes and fears,
May your freed souls together fly,
To brighter worlds beyond the sky.
(Frances Addison)
