Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, C. T.
Subject(s): Farewell; Grief; Parting; Sorrow; Sadness
If knowledge is of lovely things,
Then there is none more wise
Than I who have watched starlight dawn
In your gray eyes ...
If knowledge is of grievous things,
Then bitter learned am I
Who saw the quiver of your lips
That said, Goodbye.
