Books are the closest friends of all, Ready to help me when I call, And teach to me what I must learn; 'Tis waiting there for me to turn The page and find what I must know. To these good friends I'll often go, And they'll not fail me in what I need; Books are the closest friends, indeed. 3. Books are a store of treasures rare; Mine for the seeking-mine to share With· others who, like me, must go And find the things that they should know. Treaiures are there for me to take; If I but look there I shall make The wisdom of all the ages live: This is what books to me will give.
