Let's not unman each other--part at once;
All farewells should be sudden, when forever,

Let's not unman each other--part at once;
All farewells should be sudden, when forever,
Else they make an eternity of moments,
And clog the last sad sands of life with tears.

Half broken-hearted

Drop a tear, and bid adieu;

Slips their grip while greetin' you,--
Say good-bye er howdy-do?
