Friends of my youth, a last adieu! haply some day we meet again; Yet ne'er the self-same men shall meet; the years shall make us other men.
"The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî". Poem by Richard Francis Burton, 1870.

Friends of my youth, a last adieu! haply some day we meet again; Yet ne'er the self-same men shall meet; the years shall make us other men.
