[Farewell, farewell, now Summer's sped]

Farewell, farewell, now Summer's sped,
Till wakes the coming year!
Farewell, farewell, the leaves are dead!
Farewell, my heart is drear!
I sang through all the happy times
Of Summer; now 'tis done,
I wing my flight to other climes
Still Southward, toward the Sun.
