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