Friendship in misfortune Matches original text
Language: English
Give me the depth of love that springs From friendship in misfortune grown, As ivy to the ruin clings, When every other hope has flown. Give me that fond confiding love -- That naught but death itself can blight; A flame that slander cannot move, But burns in darkness doubly bright.

- Set to music by John (Nicholson) Ireland (1879 - 1962), "Friendship in misfortune", 1926, published 1928 [ voice and piano ], from Three Songs, no. 2, Augener & Co. Ltd.
