ON GIVING A FRIEND A CROSS. <br /> <br /> <br />We should each other's crosses help to bear, <br />Yet I, dear friend, lay this upon your breast: <br />Would Heaven, indulgent, hear my heartfelt prayer, <br />No heavier one should ever on it rest.<br /><br />Frances Anne Kemble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/impromptu-iii/
