FRIENDSHIP
29

No show of bolts and bars
Can keep the foeman out,
Or 'scape his secret mine,
Who entered with the doubt
That drew the line.


No warder at the gate
Can let the friendly in;
But, like the sun, o'er all
He will the castle win,
And shine along the wall.


There 's nothing in the world I know
That can escape from love,
For every depth it goes below,
And every height above.
