Love
I Parted from the Little Girl
Translated by William N. Loew (1912) · From Selected Lyrics
Love
From the little girl I parted,
My darling sweetheart who had been.
Our last kiss left me broken hearted,
The parting's sorrow was most keen.
Ah, well! this happened long ago!
The tide and time though ceaseless flow,
The parting's bitter woe they heal,
I do not feel it any more-
The sweetness of that kiss of yore
I'll not forget! e'en now I feel.
