Each wiped the tear from other’s eye;
Now each must weep alone.
“My tears fall fast for thee, love;
How can I say, Farewell!
But go; thy God be with thee, love,
Thy heart’s deep grief to quell.
“Yet my spirit clings to thine, love;
Thy soul remains with me,
And oft we’ll hold communion sweet
O’er the dark and distant sea.
