An Autumn Love Cycle/Good-Bye

by Georgia Douglas Camp Johnson

Good-Bye

Let's say "Good-bye"Nor wait Love's latest breathPoised now so lightly on the wing of Death,While yet within our eyes one fervent gleamRemains to hallow this, a passing dream:Yes, yes "Good-bye,"For it is best to partWhile Love's low light still burnsWithin the heart!
