Farewell

 I have got my leave.
 Bid me farewell, my brothers! 
I bow to you all and take my departure.
 

Here I give back the keys of my door 
---and I give up all claims to my house.
 
I only ask for last kind words from you.
 

We were neighbors for long, 
but I received more than I could give.
 
Now the day has dawned 
and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out.
 
A summons has come and I am ready for my journey.
