Anna Letitia Barbauld CLXV. “Life! I know not what thou art”L
But know that thou and I must part;
And when, or how, or where we met
I own to me’s a secret yet.
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
’Tis hard to part when friends are dear—
Perhaps ’twill cost a sigh, a tear;
—Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not Good-night—but in some brighter clime
Bid me Good-morning.
