GOOD-BY, the tears are in my eyes; Farewell, farewell, my prettiest; Farewell, of women born the best; Good-by, the saddest of good-bys. Farewell, with many vows and sighs My sad heart leaves you to your rest; Farewell, the tears are in my eyes; Farewell, from you my miseries Are more than now may be confessed, And most by thee have I been blessed, Yea, and for thee have wasted sighs; Good-by, the last of my good-bys. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES ON OBSERVING A BLOSSOM [ON THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 1796] by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE QUATRAIN: FATE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON MEZZO CAMMIN by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW SONNET: 21 by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL ON A GREEK VASE by FRANK DEMPSTER SHERMAN THE SAILOR; A ROMAIC BALLAD by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM CHORUS OF CLOUD-MAIDENS: STROPHE, FR.
