_The Worst Of Enemies_

by (1862–1922)

Listen in the reader

I DO not fear an enemy Who all his days hath hated me.

I do not bother o'er a foe Whose name and face I do not know.

I mind me not the small attack Of him who bites behind my back:

But Heaven help me to the end 'Gainst that one who was once my friend.
