ANG KAIBIGANG TUNAY

Kaibigang tunay ay laging matapat,
ang tulong ay laan sa lahat ng oras.


Siya ay mabait at saka marangal
sa lahat ng saglit ay maaasahan.


Sa pangangailangan, siya'y laging handa
nang ang kaibiga'y hindi mapahiya.


Siya'y nakalaan kahit na magtiis
upang mapagbigyan, katotong matalik.


Kaibigang lubos, kaibigang tapat
ay kayamanan din ang nakakatulad.

A Poison Tree a poem

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole.
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.
