GOODBYE - TO MY MOTHER, by                    
First Line: Let not your heart be altogether lonely
Last Line: Good-bye! Good-bye!
Subject(s): Farewell; Mothers; Parting


Let not your heart be altogether lonely
Now that the last, reluctant words are said,
I take away my face and voice, but leave you
My heart, instead.

Our separate lives will only make love dearer,
And beautiful as distant mountains are,
When all the little hills erase each other,
And leave no scar.

For every westward-blowing wind is my wind,
Dawning I send you, when my sun is high,
And all God's lovely stars are ours together.
Good-bye! Good-bye!
