May Ice Befall My Heart

Begone bittersweet longing in my heart

No more is there a place for thee

My beloved is a fragile soul

And a friend is all I’ll be.

For though hope may spring eternal

It has no home in me.

For her friendship is rare treasure

And so friend is all I’ll be,

Cruel people slew her self-confidence,

She can’t see what I can see

And so she will be my best friend

From now to eternity.
