JE SAIS by CHARLES T. DAVIS

First Line: IF KNOWLEDGE IS OF LOVELY THINGS
Last Line: THAT SAID, GOODBYE.
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.
