Who knows if we shall meet again? Behind each parting lurks a fear; We smile, to hide the haunting pain, The rising tear. You tell me we shall meet, . . . but where? The way is dark, the world is wide; I only see in my despair Our paths divide. You say that we shall meet, . . . but how? The years slip by, and make us old; 'Tis easy to forget love's vow, When hearts grow cold. Why part, then, if we do not know? (Dear God, if one of us should die!) I cannot, will not, let thee go!
