Meeting.
If we shall live, we live;
If we shall die, we die;
If we live, we shall meet again;
But tonight, good bye.
One word, let but one be heard—
What, not one word?
If we shall die, we die;
If we live, we shall meet again;
But tonight, good bye.
One word, let but one be heard—
What, not one word?
If we sleep, we shall wake again
And see tomorrow's light;
If we wake, we shall meet again;
But tonight, good night.
Good night, my lost and found—
Still not a sound?
And see tomorrow's light;
If we wake, we shall meet again;
But tonight, good night.
Good night, my lost and found—
Still not a sound?
292
If we live, we must part;
If we die, we part in pain;
If we die, we shall part
Only to meet again.
By those tears on either cheek,
Tomorrow you will speak.
If we die, we part in pain;
If we die, we shall part
Only to meet again.
By those tears on either cheek,
Tomorrow you will speak.
To meet, worth living for;
Worth dying for, to meet;
To meet, worth parting for;
Bitter forgot in sweet.
To meet, worth parting before
Never to part more.
Worth dying for, to meet;
To meet, worth parting for;
Bitter forgot in sweet.
To meet, worth parting before
Never to part more.
