Smile Upon Your Friend

Smile Upon Your Friend - A.E. Housman

You smile upon your friend to-day,
To-day his ills are over;
You hearken to the lover's say,
And happy is the lover.

Tis late to hearken, late to smile,
But better late than never:
I shall have lived a little while
Before I die for ever.

A.E. Housman
