“YESTERDAY, WHEN WE WERE FRIENDS”
I
Yesterday, when we were friends,We were scarcely friends at all;
Now we have been friends so long,
Now our love has grown so strong.

II
When to-morrow's eve shall fallWe shall say, as night descends,
Again shall say: Ah, yesterday
Scarcely were we friends at all—
Now we have been friends so long;
Our love has grown so deep, so strong.
