Fare Thee Well, Love

Fare thee well, love,
Fare thee well, love,
Far away, you must go
Take my heart, love,
Take my heart, love
Will we never meet, again no more?

Far across, love,
Far across, love,
O'er the mountains, and country wide
Take my heart, love,
Take my heart, love,
No one knows the tears I've cried

So I'll drink today, love,
I'll sing to you, love,In paupers glory, my time I'll bide
No home or ties, love, a restless rover,
If I can't have you by my side

Oh come back, love,
Oh come back, love,
The sun and moon refuse to shine
Since you've gone, love, gone away, love,
This lonely boy has had no peace of mind

So I'll drink today, love,
I'll sing to you, love,
In paupers glory, my time I'll bide
No home or ties, love, a restless rover,
If I can't have you by my side

Fare thee well, love,
Fare thee well, love,
Far away, you must go
Take my heart, love,
Take my heart, love,
Will we never meet, again no more?
Will we never meet, again no more?

"My dear Phaedrus where have you been, and where are you going?"

Speaking of music, you missed the Choral concert, consequently Shenandoah. It was a beautiful performance, "Hark, I hear the harp eternal" was spot on, as well as, "There will be Rest." Not to diminish or belittle the other songs, but these particularly soothed my fancy into a pleasurable lull.

In conclusion: I enjoy this song. I enjoy Choral. We should read more Plato.

"Let us be going."
