Good-Bye + 

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! + 
