Vale

Topics: classic

Good-bye, sweet friend, good-bye,      And all the world must be      Between my friend and me;      And nothing is, dear heart,      But hands that meet to part;      Good-bye, sweet friend, good-bye.      Good-bye, sweet love, good-bye,      And one long grave must be      Between my love and me;      What comfort there, dear heart,      For hands that meet to part?      Good-bye, sweet love, good-bye.
