Farewell To A Lady

Over the hills and high moutains

And beyond the oceans wide –

To seek wisdom’s purest fountains

Thou hast gone afar to bide.

Like the flower without perfume

Is life – without you near me;

And when Loneliness dost resume,

I oft set my thought on thee.

All the happy moments and deeds

We’ve shared and done together,

Will – like a streams of wistful dreams –

Flow in my heart for ever.

Farewell to thee, O Sweet Lady,

Even though we’re miles apart,

I’ll pray for thee to Almighty

For thou dwell deep in my heart.
