   Friends… old friends…
   One sees how it ends.
   A woman looks
   Or a man lies,
   And the pleasant brooks
   And the quiet skies,
   Ruined with brawling
   And caterwauling,
   Enchant no more
   As they did before,
   And so it ends
   With friends.

   Friends… old friends…
   And what if it ends?
   Shall we dare to shirk
   What we live to learn?
   It has done its work,
   It has served its turn;
   And, forgive and forget
   Or hanker and fret,
   We can be no more
   As we were before.
   When it ends, it ends
   With friends.

   Friends… old friends…
   So it breaks, so it ends.
   There let it rest!
   It has fought and won,
   And is still the best
   That either has done.
   Each as he stands
   The work of its hands
   Which shall be more
   As he was before?…
   What is it ends
   With friends?

   Sometimes there is no happily ever after, but there is happiness…

   @ Wiseling: I don’t know if there’s always happiness, but there’s often poetry.
