William Cowper,
This ev'ning, Delia, you and I
“ That we should gain by this allay When next we met, and laugh away The care we never felt. Happy! when we but seek t' endure A little pain, then find a cure By double joy requited; For friendship, like a sever'd bone, Improves and joins a stronger tone When aptly reunited. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
