Last Line: And perish in their infancy.
Subject(s): Farewell; Parting


LIE still, my dear,
Why dost thou rise?
The light that shines,
Comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not,
It is my heart,
To think that thou and I must part;
Oh stay, oh stay!
Oh, stay, or else my joys must die,
And perish in their infancy.
