Living

Goodbye in fear, goodbye in sorrow

by Christina Rossetti 1830–1894

From Sing-Song (1872/1893)

Living

“Goodbye in fear, goodbye in sorrow,
Goodbye, and all in vain,
Never to meet again, my dear—”
“Never to part again.”
“Goodbye to-day, goodbye to-morrow,
Goodbye till earth shall wane,
Never to meet again, my dear—”
“Never to part again.”
