GOOD-BY, the tears are in my eyes; Farewell, farewell, my prettiest; Farewell, of women born the best; Good-by, the saddest of good-bys. Farewell, with many vows and sighs My sad heart leaves you to your rest; Farewell, the tears are in my eyes; Farewell, from you my miseries Are more than now may be confessed, And most by thee have I been blessed, Yea, and for thee have wasted sighs; Good-by, the last of my good-bys. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPH by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE NOT TO BE MINISTERED TO by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK THE RIVER AND THE SEA by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) ANOTHER JOURNEY FROM BETHUNE TO CUINCHY by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
