A Kiss Goodbye
Doth thou shed tears to fill the boundless sea
Shall I come then to thee this rainy day
Thine eyes behold and yet you grieve for me
How much more time in grace you took your way
Be not thou faint when I do think of you
What potion have I drunk of bitter tears
When thou shall be deposed in heart to view
Reflections show thee how thy beauty wears
From thee in absence was I ere the spring
In thine own way was beauty counted fair
Of thy love with memories may I sing
To depart my love, for me 'tis despair
Will thou now weep, or lo, be loath to cry
Upon thy lips, alas, a kiss goodbye
