So good-bye! <br />This is where we end it, you and I. <br />Life's to live, you know, and death's to die; <br />So good-bye! <br /> <br />I was yours <br />For the love in life that loves while life endures, <br />For the earth-path that the Heaven-flight ensures <br />I was yours. <br /> <br />You were mine <br />For the moment that a garland takes to twine, <br />For the human hour that sorcery shews divine <br />You were mine. <br /> <br />All is over. <br />You and I no more are love and lover; <br />Nought's to seek now, gain, attain, discover. <br />All is over.<br /><br />Edith Nesbit<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-parting-4/
