Good Bye
Thought and words that never die.
In the minds of mortal men,
None so stirs the soul as when
We listen to the words. Good Bye.
What losses and crosses in memory
What thought too potent to express.
What depths CT human tenderness
Linger in the words. Good Bye.
Let not the heart be lonely: aye.
Since the last reluctant word was
said,
Her loving voice liveth instead.
In the echo of the words. Good Eye.
AS the end of day draweth nigh,
Separate lives make love seem
dearer,
Both earth and heaven share we to-
Until this mortal meets the immortal.
