1. I'll not weep that thou art going to leave me,
2. There's nothing lovely here;
3. And doubly will the dark world grieve me,
4. While thy heart suffers there.
5.  
6. I'll not weep, because the summer's glory
7. Must always end in gloom;
8. And, follow out the happiest story--
9. It closes with a tomb!
10.  
11. And I am weary of the anguish
12. Increasing winters bear;
13. Weary to watch the spirit languish
14. Through years of dead despair.
15.  
16. So, if a tear, when thou art dying,
17. Should haply fall from me,
18. It is but that my soul is sighing,
19. To go and rest with thee.
