What joy that such love to a friendly stranger flows so naturally
Such a gift that this stranger takes as warm comfort and solace
Hurrah, the wordsmith who, with the gift of letters, seeks to nurture and console
For ’tis more easy to be silent and to permit an emotion lose control
than to speak with eternal symbols that those yet unborn may befoul
