A PROVEN FRIEND, by                    
First Line: A proven friend is like a gushing spring upon life's
Last Line: Where love is in control.
Subject(s): Friendship


A proven friend is like a gushing spring upon Life's desert drear,
Though the dead sands all-surround it, yet its waters fresh and clear
Invigorate the soul;
We forget the shifting, burning sands, the ceaseless grind, the fear,
When we dip and drink from Friendship's cup the heaven of man seems near
Where Love is in control.
