FAREWELL BELOVETH O thou who’s cherished memory is a part of my heart Whose eyes of love make glad my dreams Farewell, for now we part The road that bears me on my way Calleth my name
The monsters already raise their heads Yet your beauteous memory will make The dreary monsters less monstrous And wake up the hope that tramples fear
When I shall face the tempests rage Or approach the road that killed many travelers Wilt thou not then too think of me And softly pray that
When all my toils and perils are o’er You will clasp your hands in mine once more Or should thou hear no more of me Or hear that the road killed me Will not a pang thy heart depress And a tear in thy sweet eyelids shine For him whose latest thoughts your heart didst dwell.
