GOOD-BYE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LET'S SAY 'GOOD-BYE'
Last Line: WITHIN THE HEART!
Subject(s): FAREWELL; PARTING;

Let's say "Good-bye"
Nor wait Love's latest breath
Poised now so lightly on the wing of Death,
While yet within our eyes one fervent gleam
Remains to hallow this, a passing dream:
Yes, yes "Good-bye,"
For it is best to part
While Love's low light still burns
Within the heart!
