Thus, I bid thee, Adieu A softer speak t’will not be spake Thus, a whispered, adieu A sweet good bye that I must take Then gone before the dew Fare me well, I bid you, dear Speak soft, a sweet good bye Wear well my love, this kind request Let no tear fall from your eye You shall see me in the morn In the skies of blue, sun-kissed Then in eve, in twilight’s bless Nay, I shall not be missed In the morning glory’s scent In soft call of pearl-gray dove, Fare me well, I bid you, dear And keep with thee, my love.

This should be sung, with a softly plucked guitar. Very beautiful! "I think I go home." |

"Parting is such sweet sorrow". Return soon. This was such a sweet and soft whisper and the photo perfect for the sentiment. Enjoyed |

You folks, with your remarks, are just overwhelming...I'm so glad you enjoyed this, either for the photo, or for the words... there's no place like [Passions'] home... |

BRAVO!!! Oh Karilea, this is wonderful, sweet friend, this is a bittersweet farewell poem and I hope this no longer applies and you will never have to say Au Revoir! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
