"Farewell, farewell for ever!
I cannot more remain;
Far wider things our hearts do sever
Than continent or main -
Pride and distance and inaptness
To feel each other's joy, distress.
Farewell, farewell for ever!
Be it not said by thee
My heart was weaker, thy heart braver
In mutual misery.
But parted were we, be it said,
As are the living from the dead.
Farewell, farewell for ever!
Since love leaves not behind
Not even friendship, nor endeavour,
Nor sorrow wild or kind...
'Tis fit indeed those souls be parted
That cannot e'er be broken-hearted.
Farewell, farewell for ever!
'Tis time this thing were done,
When love is cold which was a fever
And vulgar as a stone,
When life from woe to woe doth flee
And change itself is misery."
