Farewell, ye verdant hills and vales,
Farewell thou rolling river,
Whose waves flow onward to the sea,
Returning, never, never.
From all thy scenes, I might have gone,
I might in joy have parted,
But since my love remaineth here,
I wander broken-hearted.
I go from one with whom to part,
Is grief that can’t be spoken,
From whom to rend my faithful heart,
That heart, even now, is broken.
(James Avis Bartley)
