GOOD COMRADESHIP.

By Ripley D. Saunders

It may have been only a cheerful word, A grasp of the hand in meeting; But if hope revived at the message heard, Or courage came from the greeting, How fine to think of a soul waxed strong, Of a burden lighter growing; Because you happened to come along When life made its dreariest showing!
For this is the true good comradeship In the life we live together, That holds to a friend with a firmer grip The rougher the way or weather; That sings to gladden the hearts of all, Till, with the echoes blending, The tranquil shadows of twilight fall, And the road has reached its ending.
— Ripley D. Saunders, in St. Louis Republic.
