English poem
Fare The Well, Love.
by George Pope Morris (1802–1864)
Fare thee well, love!—We must sever! Nor for years, love; but for ever! We must meet no more—or only Meet as strangers—sad and lonely. Fare thee well! Fare thee well, love!—How I languish For the cause of all my anguish! None have ever met and parted So forlorn and broken-hearted. Fare thee well! Fare thee well, love—Till I perish All my truth for thee I'll cherish; And, when thou my requiem hearest, Know till death I loved thee, dearest. Fare thee well!
