For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.

Better by far you should forget and smile that you should remember and be sad.

In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.

Be the green grass above me, with showers and dewdrops wet; and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget.

|
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.

|
Better by far you should forget and smile than you should remember and be sad.

|
