A Mile with Me

O who will walk a mile with me Along life’s merry way?A comrade blithe and full of glee,Who dares to laugh out loud and free,And let his frolic fancy play,Like a happy child, through the flowers gayThat fill the field and fringe the way Where he walks a mile with me.

And who will walk a mile with me Along life’s weary way?A friend whose heart has eyes to seeThe stars shine out o’er the darkening lea,And the quiet rest at the end o’ the day,—A friend who knows, and dares to say,The brave, sweet words that cheer the way Where he walks a mile with me.

With such a comrade, such a friend,I fain would walk till journeys end,Through summer sunshine, winter rain,And then?—Farewell, we shall meet again!
