'Tis The End, So Farewell!

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

Dear love, the hour of our parting
has come at last,

for the die has been cast,
all our fond hopes are past.

Cruel the pow'r that has
sunder'd love's golden chain!

Ah! the anguish and pain,
of sweet dreams that are
dreamed in vain!

'Tis the end so farewell!
'Tis the end so goodbye!

When we wake from this spell,
we'll be strangers at last,
you and I;

All the joys we have known,
will be wither'd and flown,

like the roses that die,
'neath a grey Autumn sky;

and tho' Spring come again,
we shall seek them in vain.

Now you must go, dear?
The voice of another calls,

with vague terror it thralls,
as its dread accent falls.

Then whisper low, dear,
the words we dread to say:

For 'tis farewell for aye,
tho' my heart would fain bid you stay.

'Tis the end so farewell!
'Tis the end so goodbye!

When we wake from this spell,
we'll be strangers at last,
you and I;

All the joys we have known,
will be wither'd and flown,

like the roses that die,
'neath a grey Autumn sky;

and tho' Spring come again,
we shall seek them in vain.
