Parting
Where'er you go, on ground or grass,
May ne'er you lack a loving lass,
With tender lips and honest eyes,
To make you happy and keep you wise—
Where'er you go.
May ne'er you lack a loving lass,
With tender lips and honest eyes,
To make you happy and keep you wise—
Where'er you go.
Where'er you go, on grass or ground,
No truer maid will e'er be found
Than she, whose heart will follow you
With love and sorrow enough for two—
And will you go?
No truer maid will e'er be found
Than she, whose heart will follow you
With love and sorrow enough for two—
And will you go?

Where'er you go—(oh, foolish eyes
Let not the blinding tears arise!)—
Where'er you go—(for maidhood's sake,
Oh heart, be quiet, and do not break!)—
You shall not go!
Let not the blinding tears arise!)—
Where'er you go—(for maidhood's sake,
Oh heart, be quiet, and do not break!)—
You shall not go!
