Fare thee well, love!–We must sever!
Nor for years, love; but for ever!
We must meet no more–or only
Meet as strangers–sad and lonely.
Fare thee well!
Fare thee well, love!–How I languish
For the cause of all my anguish!
None have ever met and parted
So forlorn and broken-hearted.
Fare thee well!
Fare thee well, love–Till I perish
All my truth for thee I’ll cherish;
And, when thou my requiem hearest,
Know till death I loved thee, dearest.
Fare thee well!
(George Pope Morris)
