- George Harrison

Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass

You know his faults, now let the foibles pass

Life is one long enigma, my friend

So read on, read on, the answer’s at the end

Don’t be so hard on the ones that you love

It’s the ones that you love we think so little of

Don’t be so hard on the ones that you need

It’s the ones that you need we think so little of

The speech of flowers excels the flowers of speech

But what’s often in your heart, is the hardest thing to reach

And life is one long mystery, my friend

So live on, live on, the answer’s at the end
