Explore "A Mile with me (Lyrics)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O who will walk a mile with me / Along life's merry way? / A comrade blithe and full of glee, / Who dares to laugh out loud and free, / And let his frolic fancy play, / Like a happy child, through the flowers gay / That fill the field and fringe the way / Where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me / Along life's weary way? / A friend whose heart has eyes to see / The stars shine out o'er the darkening lea, / And the quiet rest at the end o' the day, -- / A friend who knows, and dares to say, / The brave, sweet words that cheer the way / Where he walks a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend, / I fain would walk till journeys end, / Through summer sunshine, winter rain, / And then? -- Farewell, we shall meet again!
December, 1902.
