LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.

A' szerelem, Lidikém! ollyan, mint regel az árnyék.


Love, my sweet Lidi! resembles the fugitive shadows of morning;
Shorter and shorter they grow, and at length disappear.
Friendship—our friendship—is like the beautiful shadows of evening,

Spreading and growing till life and its light pass away.
