Friend is he whose heart expands
to hold the cares of every man.
Love he has who locks no door to those he has not known before
but welcomes in, makes room for more.
Fiend is he (or yet, false friend!)
whose goodness knoweth bound or end
who helpeth only those he knows
and views the rest with upturned nose.

A hated and despised Jew
(a bleeding and a dying man!)
was nursed and soothed upon the breast
of one unknown Samaritan -
his foe
no, Greatest Friend.
