Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - We Have Been Friends TogetherCaroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - We Have Been Friends Together
Work rating: Medium


We have been friends together,    In sunshine and in shade;  Since first beneath the chestnut-trees    In infancy we played.  But coldness dwells within thy heart,   A cloud is on thy brow;  We have been friends together—    Shall a light word part us now?    We have been gay together;    We have laugh’d at little jests; For the fount of hope was gushing    Warm and joyous in our breasts.  But laughter now hath fled thy lip,    And sullen glooms thy brow;  We have been gay together—   Shall a light word part us now?    We have been sad together,    We have wept, with bitter tears,  O’er the grass-grown graves, where slumber’d    The hopes of early years. The voices which are silent there    Would bid thee clear thy brow;  We have been sad together—    Oh! what shall part us now?
