Friends
Edgar A. Guest
1881 to 1959
Ain't it fine when things are going
Topsy-turvy and askew
To discover someone showing
Good old-fashioned faith in you?
Ain't it good when life seems dreary
And your hopes about to end,
Just to feel the handclasp cheery
Of a fine old loyal friend?
Gosh! one fellow to another
Means a lot from day to day,
Seems we're living for each other
In a friendly sort of way.
When a smile or cheerful greetin'
Means so much to fellows sore,
Seems we ought to keep repeatin'
Smiles an' praises more an' more.
Edgar A. Guest's Friends
I am busy working to bring Edgar A. Guest's "Friends" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Edgar A. Guest's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Friends" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
