To Laurence Hutton, Amicus.

Wherever under the sun I wander,
The while I work my songs I ponder,
And seek to find a comrade true—
As Larry Hutton, staunch & true;
Nor have I, Larry, any misgiving
That Life, with Friendship, 's not worth living,
167

Though it be toilsome,—Friend, have you?
And I sing before I take my rest,
In every life three things are best,
Three things are best in every land—
Love, & work, & a Comrade's hand!
Edmund Clarence Stedman. New York April 25th 1887.
