AWAY!
1
Come away, love! With me, love, away!Far away from the world that we know,
Far from all we have done till to-day,
And from all we have been until now
Far away!
2
Set impassable distance betweenAll that was and that is! And let naught
Be remember'd, heard, spoken, or seen
That can ever remind us of aught
That has been!
29
3
Of the past every vestige efface,With its doings, whatever they were!
Of each circumstance, person, and place
That have been its accomplices, spare
Not a trace!
4
And discard with the days that are doneAll their cumbrous caparisonings!
Of old habitudes need have we none,
Who have only to spread out our wings
And be gone.
5
But wherever they bear us away,Be it far from the world that we know!
Far from all we have done till to-day,
And from all we have been until now
Far away!
