A FAREWELL

Farewell, but oh, where'er you go,
 O'er rolling land or surging sea,
Remember that the same blue sky
 As one roof covers you and me!

And when the morning sunbeams shine,
 Night's gloomy darkness to dispel,
Think that the same bright beams are mine,
 And morn has dawned for me as well.

And when the evening stars arise
 To set the skies' supernal blue,
Look up and think while daylight dies
 That I am looking at them too.

Farewell, but oh, where'er you go,
 O'er rolling land or surging sea,
Remember that the same blue sky
 As one roof covers you and me!
