The gift of friendship and other verses . HE hunger of flesh for food with-held,The thirst of lips long dry,The eyes grown dim with looking back,To where our memories lie,—Oh, these are nothing that can compareWith the anguish keener than the heart that hungers for love itself,And suffers alone and in vain.
