Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Love


If we shall live, we live:
If we shall die, we die:
If we live we shall meet again:
But to-night, good-bye.
One word, let but one be heard --
What, not one word?
If we sleep we shall wake again
And see to-morrow's light:
If we wake, we shall meet again:
But to-night, good-night.
Good-night, my lost and found --
Still not a sound?
If we live, we must part:
If we die, we part in pain:
If we die, we shall part
Only to meet again.
By those tears on either cheek,
To-morrow you will speak.
To meet, worth living for:
Worth dying for, to meet.
To meet, worth parting for:
Bitter forgot in sweet.
To meet, worth parting before,
Never to part more.
