You smile upon your friend to-day, <br />To-day his ills are over; <br />You hearken to the lover's say, <br />And happy is the lover. <br /> <br />'Tis late to hearken, late to smile, <br />But better late than never; <br />I shall have lived a little while <br />Before I die for ever.<br /><br />Alfred Edward Housman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-smile-upon-your-friend-to-day/
