“Make new friends but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test,
Time and change are surely best.
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow grey,
Friendship never knows decay …
Cherish friendship in your breast,
New is good but old is best;
Make new friends but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.”
