“Farewell.”
Ah! frown not thus—nor turn from me,
I must not—dare not—look on thee;
Too well thou know’st how dear thou art,
‘Tis hard but yet ’tis best to part:
I wish thee not to share my grief,
It seeks, it hopes, for no relief.
“Farewell.”
Come give thy hand, what though we part,
Thy name is fixed, within my heart;
I shall not change, nor break the vow
I made before and plight thee now;
For since thou may’st not live for me,
‘Tis sweeter far to die for thee.
“Farewell”
Thoult think of me when I am gone
None shall undo, what I have done;
Yet even thy love I would resign
To save thee from remorse like mine;
Thy tears shall fall upon my grave:
They still may bless—they cannot save.
(Lady Caroline Lamb)
