ADIEU by ARTHUR PETERSON

First Line: REMEMBER ME WHEN I AM FAR AWAY
Last Line: BEHIND ME SINKS THE CALIFORNIA SHORE!
Subject(s): FAREWELL; PARTING;

Remember me when I am far away,
On boreal or on equatorial shore.
Adieu! I'll see San Pablo's sapphire bay,
And Mount Diablo's misty top no more.

Adieu! Adieu! I seek the deep gray sea,
Which like the unknown future lies before.
While, emblem of my happy hours with thee,
Behind me sinks the California shore!
