For daily proof from friends proven,

For seal of regard and attachment;

With vigilant eyes and keener sense,

Watchful over own dignity they’re,

Readier to be offended than pleased;

Alas! These men offend physical laws.

When the top most one is cleft,

Stands erect with but one lost,

While love with men over years wrought,

Built with care, feeling and thought;

The whole edifice falls with but one

Last word in passion, anger distraught.
