Thought for the day

The folk I love
I do hate the folk I love---
They hurt so:
Their least word and act may be
Cause of woe.
'Won't you come to tea with me?'
'Not to-day;
I'm so tired, I've been to church.'
Such folk say.
All the dreary afternoon
I must clutch
At the strength to love like them---
Not too much.
-- Lesbia Harford (1891-1927)

Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

(I googled to make sure I go the words right).
