Sophie Jewett - A Friendship lyrics

Small fellowship of daily commonplace We hold together, dear, constrained to go Diverging ways. Yet day by day I know My life is sweeter for thy life's sweet grace; And if we meet but for a moment's space, Thy touch, thy word, sets all the world aglow. Faith soars serener, haunting doubts shrink low, Abashed before the sunshine of thy face. Nor press of crowd, nor waste of distance serves To part us. Every hush of evening brings Some hint of thee, true-hearted friend of mine; And as the farther planet thrills and swerves When towards it through the darkness Saturn swings, Even so my spirit feels the spell of thine.
