GOOD-BYE.
We say It for an hour or for years;
We say it smiling, say it choked with
tears;
We say It coldly, say it with a kiss;
And yet we have no other word than
this
Good-bye.
Ve have no dearer word for our heart's
friend.
For him who jouirineys to t he world's

And scars our soul with gokig; thus
we say,
As unto him who steps )1t o'er the way:
Good-bye.
Alike to those dve love and those we
hate,
We say no more I parting. At life's
