Parting greeting to the precious friend upon her departure in the summer of 1877

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Farewell! Farewell! Farewell!
God be with you! God protect you! May He bless you!
Farewell! Farewell!
Though you travel ever so far from me,
In spirit I shall always be with you!
We are close to each other!
Even in the distance, may your loyal heart
Keep faith with me gladly.
You, too, shall remain, whether near or far,
My faithful Friend-Star!
Farewell! Farewell!
