Love
The Love-Adieu
Translated by James Clarence Mangan (1845) · From Poems, ed. John Mitchel (New York, 1859)
Love
FARE thee well, fare thee well, my dove!
Thou and I must sever;
One fond kiss, one fond kiss of love,
Ere we part forever!
And one rose, one red rose, Marie,
Choose me from the bowers;
But no fruit, oh! no fruit for me,
Nought but fragile flowers.
