THE PARTING

I will forgive:-You must forget:-      Our lives must be,      As we'd ne'er metThe World so wide,We'll drift apart;      Then mem'rys heart      Will fade awayLike mist, beforeThe new-born day.      The wounds, tho' deep,      Will heal in time:-You will forgetThat I was thine      I will forgive:-      Fate so unkind.
