Classic Poem

Fare thee well! the words are spoken
Can they be unuttered ever? …
Fare thee well! my heart is broken
But we meet no more wherever!
Never!—never—no, no, never!
No we meet no more forever!

Fare thee well! with bitter anguish
Now I feel that we must sever—
Years like ages, did I languish
Thus to part with thee forever?
Aye! forever … Ever! … ever!
Never more to meet, no! never!

Fare thee well! thou unforgiving,
Henceforth 'twere a vain endeavour
Faith to find among the living,
Thou hast broke that dream forever!
Ever! … ever! … yes!, yes, ever!
Never to return! … no! never!
