“WE SAY WE SHALL NOT MEET”
We say we shall not meet
Again beneath this sky,
And turn with leaden feet,
Murmuring “Good-bye!”
Again beneath this sky,
And turn with leaden feet,
Murmuring “Good-bye!”
But laugh at how we rued
Our former time's adieu
When those who went for good
Are met anew.
Our former time's adieu
When those who went for good
Are met anew.
We talk in lightest vein
On trifles talked before,
And part to meet again,
But meet no more.
On trifles talked before,
And part to meet again,
But meet no more.
