If we must part, br Then let it be like this. br Not heart on heart, br Nor with the useless anguish of a kiss; br But touch mine hand and say: br 'Until to-morrow or some other day, br If we must part'. br br Words are so weak br When love hath been so strong; br Let silence speak: br 'Life is a little while, and love is long; br A time to sow and reap, br And after harvest a long time to sleep, br But words are weak.
