Farewell

Farewell to thee, farewell my soul My weeping eyes now cannot see Thou to thy haunted room can tell! That thou forever dwell with me! The magic of thy lovely tune I carry with me in my breast Without thee in this dreary world I searched and searched but found no rest In lonesome paths at nightly hours I hovered moonlit vales alone A thousand dreams of ancient days In heart cemetery there I own My aching heart now stop thou beat! My moaning soul! don't trust someone! These earthly people all betray Someone sincere there is no one He left the world with wistful eyes Who loved thee he was only one He was the moon of moonless nights He was the shining summer sun
