Farewell unkind farewell, to me no more a father
Since my heart, my heart holds my love most dear
The wealth which thou dost reap another's hand must gather
Though my heart my heart still lies buried there
Then farewell, then farewell, O farewell
Welcome, my love, welcome, my joy forever

'Tis not the vain desire of human fleeting beauty
Makes my mind to live though my means do die
Nor do I Nature wrong, though I forget my duty:
Love not in the blood but in the spirit doth lie
Then farewell, then farewell, O farewell
Welcome, my love, welcome, my joy forever
