TOO HARD
‘The days will be long,’ she murmured:
Her tears on his bosom fell.
‘But a little while,’ he answered,
As loth to say Farewell.
Her tears on his bosom fell.
‘But a little while,’ he answered,
As loth to say Farewell.
So the Farewell was not spoken:
Her lover crossed the main,
And the days were long while she waited,
And watched till he came again.
Her lover crossed the main,
And the days were long while she waited,
And watched till he came again.
Too hard to be spoken at parting!
Her lover came back, and they tell
How they met, and how sweetly he uttered
(After long days of waiting) Farewell.
Her lover came back, and they tell
How they met, and how sweetly he uttered
(After long days of waiting) Farewell.
