Departure
Departure
Never to know this place again - Never to see the hill turn gold in fall - Nor to Tie lie at night on the moon-drenched hill, Nor hear the wild birds call - | |
Never to watch the sun come up, And the pale dawn come on a pale world then, Nor ever to see your eves at dusk - Never your face again - | |
