PARTING
Why, love, don't weep!
Our joy was long,
Sweet twenty years
Of smile and song.
I shall but wait
Asleep, asleep,
For you to come—
Why, love, don't weep!
Our joy was long,
Sweet twenty years
Of smile and song.
I shall but wait
Asleep, asleep,
For you to come—
Why, love, don't weep!
Why, love, don't weep!
The end is this;
There comes a bound
To speech and kiss:
For joy like ours
The price is cheap—
Sweet twenty years!
Why, love, don't weep!
The end is this;
There comes a bound
To speech and kiss:
For joy like ours
The price is cheap—
Sweet twenty years!
Why, love, don't weep!
