I ask one thing - that in still, far-off days,

someone who knew me should in their daily rounds,

suddenly pause, caught by some sight or sound,

some glance, some phrase, some trick of memory's ways

which brings me to mind, then I shall wait,

eager with hope, perhaps to hear -

“how great if he were with us still!”

And then at the end, all that I wish for is just -

“he was my friend!”
