PARTING, by                    
First Line: Let not your heart be altogether lonely
Last Line: And leave no ridge or gulch to mark the scar.
Subject(s): Farewell; Parting


Let not your heart be altogether lonely,
Now that the last reluctant words are said;
I take away my voice and face and only
Leave you the memory of me, instead.
Our separate lives will only make love dearer
And beautiful as far-off mountains are,
When all the little peaks part from each other,
And leave no ridge or gulch to mark the scar.
