Fare thee well O Love of WomanA
Lip of Beauty fare thee wellB
Thy soft heart divinely humanA
Holds me by a magic spellB
All that grieves me now to perishC
Is the loss of one bright eyeD
And I still the vision cherishC
While I lay me down to dieD
-
At my headstone kindly kneelingE
May I beg a votive tearF
Woman with her pure appealingE
Is my angel at the bierG
Let me have but one such lingerH
Praying Christ to help and saveI
Let me have but one dear fingerH
Place a chaplet on my graveI
-
Though the soldier dies in dyingE
The true lover never diesJ
Upward from his embers flyingE
He transfigures in the skiesJ
Heaven is rare but Love is rarerH
Whether it be blest or crostD
Heaven blooms fair but Love blooms fairerH
But O God at what a costD
-
Fare thee well O Love of WomanA
Lip of Beauty fare thee wellB
Thy soft heart divinely humanA
Holds me by a magic spellB
All that grieves me now to perishC
Is the loss of one bright eyeD
And I still the vision cherishC
While I lay me down to dieD
