Anna Johnston MacManus - Beannacht Leat

Описание

Beannacht leat! I hold your hand in mine, I say The parting words this parting day– And if a sob be stifled, Dear, I pray you turn aside, nor hear– I would be brave, and yet, and yet, Can we two sunder without regret? Beannacht leat! May every vagrant wind a-stir Between us be a messenger, Each falling wild-rose petal blow A haunting perfume where you go, And all the brown birds in the blue Sing memories of me to you. Beannacht leat! Thank God! 'tis not a long good-bye We give each other, you and I– Sure in my heart the hope is fain To whisper, You will come again With the kind eyes, the same kind smile– Then for a little lonely while, Beannacht leat!
