Leb' wohl! Lebe wohl! Fahr' wohl!

Im Geiste bin ich stets beÿ Dir!
Wir sind uns nah!
Wahr' auch in der Ferne
Dein treues Herz mir gerne
Auch Du bleibst ob nah ob fern
Mein treuer Freundes-Stern!
Lebe wohl! Lebe wohl!

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!
