GOOD-BYE.
Good-bye, good-bye. The words are said ; We part as strangers part, And each must turn aside the head, And still the throbbing heart. Good-bye, good bye. No words of love Only this bitter pain— That we must meet as strangers meet, If e’er we meet again. Good-bye, good bye. For deep and wide, Across our pathway lies The cruel gulf of wealth and pride, In which Love faints and dies. Though hearts may break, no tears must fall ; Bright smiles must hide our pain ; For we must meet as strangers meet, If e’er we meet again. Good-bye, good bye; and this is all. Still onward flows Life’s stream ; The past we neither dare recall—’Twas but an idle dream, For Love is lying cold and dead ; He touched our hearts in vain ; For we must meet as strangers meet, If e’er we meet again. Rosie Churchill.
