Around the corner I have a friend,
in this great city that has no end;
\et days go bv and weeks rush on.
And before llnow it a year is gone,
And 1 never see iny old friend's face;
For Life is a swift and tcrrialtfe race
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell
And he rang mine. We were younger then
And now we ure busy, tired hian—
Tired with playing a foolish game;
Tired trying to tnuke a name.
•‘Tomorrow," 1 say. "I will call on Jim,
Just to show that I’m thinking of him."
Tomorrow comes, and tomorrow goes;
And the distance lictween us growa and
grows.
Around the corner!—yet miles away .
"Here's a telegram, sir."
"Jim died today!"
And that's what wc get—and deserve
in the end—
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
