Henry Van Dyke - The Talisman
Work rating: Low

What is Fortune, what is Fame?
Futile gold and phantom name,—
Riches buried in a cave,
Glory written on a grave.
What is Friendship? Something deep
That the heart can spend and keep:
Wealth that greatens while we give,
Praise that heartens us to live.
Come, my friend, and let us prove
Life`s true talisman is love!
By this charm we shall elude
Poverty and solitude.
