New Friends and Old Friends
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made Friendships like new Wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test -
Time and change - are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray;
Friendship never knows decay.
For mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old Friends, alas! May die;
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
