Measure not the sincerity of friends, Time will show you worth of all, Those with you in cheers and delight, Probably won't, answer to your call, When you're in trouble or lagging behind, Most of them'll fly and flee. Lose not hope and make no mourn, Let them go and gain their glee. This is how heaven helps us all, Showing the faces of foes in friends, Driving the devious away at all, Teaching us, training us, the life's trends.
