DEDICATION	A
	-
QUEEN of my Life who gave me for my song	B
The richest crown a poet ever wore	C
Since I have given you songs a whole year long	B
Stoop of your grace and take this one song more	C

It was upon a golden first June day	D
I chanced to take the quiet meadow way	D
The flowers and grasses met across my feet	E
Red sorrel daisies and pale meadow sweet	E
With buttercup that set the field ablaze	F
The fields have no such flowers now a days	F
The hedges all along were pearly white	G
And there I met with Chloris all alone	H
I drew her face to lean against my own	H
The branch of May that hid her maiden eyes	I
Was scented like the rose of Paradise	J
The May bough fell I knew what youth was worth	K
And sunshine and the pleasant green gowned earth	K
When first love rhymed to summer and delight	G
Yet since my ship must sail away that day	D
Despair new born met new born joy half way	D
And I 'mid rapture and tears found voice to say	D
'Farewell my Love to leave you is to die	-
I never shall forget you dear Good bye '	-

At parting from Clarinda life was gray	D
With the cold haze of mutual weariness	L
The treasure our souls were bartered to possess	M
We saw as ashes in the cold new day	D
And only longed for leave to steal away	D
And wash remembrance from our tired eyes	I
To cleanse our lips of kisses and of lies	I
And to forget the barren fairy gold	N
For which we had journeyed such a weary road	O
Had borne so hard a chain so great a load	O
Yet none the less was the old story told	N
The old refrain re iterate none the less	M
'My life's one love ' we said with sigh for sigh	-
'I never can forget you dear Good bye '	-

	-
You were so innocent so sure so shy	-
Life was a chart well marked for you you knew	P
With rocks and quicksands plainly set in view	P
And fitly beaconed by a heavenly star	Q
The port you sought marked unmistakeably	R
Attainable and not so very far	Q
So of your charity you chose to try	-
To take a pirate bark to haven with you	P
Ah child I had learned to steer on other seas	S
Through other shoals by other stars than these	S
My chart had other ports you knew not of	T
And so one day my black sails took the breeze	S
And ere you knew it I was leagues away	D
Yet not so far but you could hear me cry	-
Across the waters of your sheltered bay	D
'Farewell my child Farewell my only love	T
I never can forget you dear Good bye '	-

When I had courted Chloe half a year	U
She bade me go she could not hold me dear	U
We parted in the orchard very late	V
The dew lay on the white sweet clover flowers	W
The moon shone through the pear tree by the gate	V
And on the grass the blossoms fell in showers	W
'Pray Heaven ' I cried 'to bless you none the less	M
That you have cursed my life eternally '	-
She laughed my pretty china shepherdess	M
Kissed her white hand towards the white full moon	X
'Up there ' she said 'the folk who say farewell	R
Never intone it to a funeral bell	R
But sing it to the sweet old fashioned tune	X
Go there and learn ' 'I have learned that tune ' quoth I	-
''I never can forget you dear Good bye ''	-
	-

V	T
	-
In that far land where myrtles dream of love	T
Where soft winds whisper through the orange grove	T
And 'twixt the sapphire of the seas and skies	M
The sunshine of perpetual summer lies	M
I brought white flowers to lie where Clemence lay	D
The shutters closed strove with the radiant day	D
And in her villa all was still and chill	R
Flowers die they say but these flowers never will	R
Whenever I see a rose I smell them still	R
I laid them by her on the strait white bed	Y
There were no kisses given no tears were shed	Y
And never a whisper of farewell was said	Y
Yet when they had laid her underneath the clay	D
And paid their prayers and tears and gone their way	D
My heart stirred and I found the old word to say	D
This time this one time and this last time true	P
'White lady my white flowers touch you where you lie	-
I never shall forget you Dear good bye '	-
	-

Envoy	T
	-
Queen of my life and of the songs I sing	Z
Whose love sets life to such a royal tune	X
This song of parting to your hands I bring	Z
As I bring honour and faith and everything	Z
Because I know our parting shall be soon	X
Since violets hardly live one happy moon	X
And love full fledged is ready to take wing	Z
But when he flies part we the silent way	D
And if you ever loved me do not say	D
'Farewell my only love I love you still	R
I never will forget you ' For you will	R
