GOODBYE—A RONDEAU.
God be with you—whose golden hair
Has been to me a beacon glare
Of bright and virtuous womanhood,
Graceful and arch as well as good,
You who have had your hearty share
In each my pleasure, each my care,
At home and in the summer air,
And only once misunderstood—
God be with you!
Has been to me a beacon glare
Of bright and virtuous womanhood,
Graceful and arch as well as good,
You who have had your hearty share
In each my pleasure, each my care,
At home and in the summer air,
And only once misunderstood—
God be with you!
And while I whisper presage fair
Of true love floating in the air
For you, when comes the woman's mood—
The longing to be meetly wooed,
I breathe a sigh, and breathe a pray'r,
God be with you!
Of true love floating in the air
For you, when comes the woman's mood—
The longing to be meetly wooed,
I breathe a sigh, and breathe a pray'r,
God be with you!
