Friends' encounters drown you like a liquor,/
Merry joy endrunkens like a sea/
And though I haven't planned this all in ever/
The spirit thrives in all that now has been

Dear friends, I thank you in the deepest light!/
In depth that travels each and every highway,/ My Lord, I've never 'countered something quite/
The songs we sang enswivel and enflare

The world, that's keeping us in find!/
The mirth we shared has never been so merry!
This tantalizing burn we shared alike/
/My friends, dear friends, it'll be with us forever/
My friends, we'll always be together.
