A Little Bit of Poetry

Farewell
“Farewell, farewell, farewell!” cried he.
“Farewell to you, farewell to me.
So long to the past and olden days;
So long to the lives far and away.
Goodbye the hurts, goodbye the pains,
Goodbye the binding chains.
No more to the lusts and the hearts desires.
No more to the billowing fires.
Off with the foreign and the alien things;
Off with the rulers and the kings.
Never again will the sun shine;
Never again will the stars be mine.
To the darkness and the hate,
To the times and the fates;
No longer they control.
No longer bright; now fading coal.
Laugh child, laugh and sing.
Laugh child for a new beginning,
For the old is now past,
And for the new that will last."
