Today is Tewfik's day!
When weary with the long day's care,
And earthly change from pain to pain,
And lost, and ready to despair,
Thy kind voice calls me back again
Oh my true friend, I am not lone
While thou canst speak with such a tone!
And thou art ever there to bring,
Still in evening's most quiet hour
With never-failing thankfulness I
welcome thee, benignant power,
Sure solacer of all my cares
And brighter hope when hope despairs.
Happy Day, Tewfik!
