Say farewell, and go!
Language: English
Look in my face, dear, Once, as used to be; Hold out you hand, dear, Have no fear of me! Shed no tears, mine will not start; Thus, like friends, old loves should part. O my Mary, my lost Mary, Say farewell, and go. Never to meet more While day follow day; Never to kiss more Till our lips are clay. Angry hearts grieve loud awhile, Broken hearts are dumb or smile. O my Mary, my lost Mary, Say farewell, and go.
