"A Farewell"

Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,

(¡Flou daun, kohld rivi-yoo-let, tuh thi see,)
Thy tribute wave deliver:
(Thahy tri-byoot waiv di-li-vuhr:)
No more by thee my steps shall be,
(Noh morr bahy thee my steps shal bi,)
For ever and for ever.
(For ev-er and for ev-er.)

Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,

(Flow, soft-lee flow, bahy lawn and lee,)
A rivulet then a river:
(A rivi-yoo-let then a rih-ver:)
Nowhere by thee my steps shall be
(Now-whair bahy thee my steps shal bi,)
For ever and for ever.
(For ev-er and for ev-er.)

But here will sigh thine alder tree

(But heer wil sy thee-n al-der tree)
And here thine aspen shiver;
(And heer thain as-pen shi-vuhr;)
And here by thee will hum the bee,
(And heer bahy thee wil hum the bee,)
For ever and for ever.
(For ev-er and for ev-er.)

A thousand suns will stream on thee,

(A thou-zend suns wil streem on thee,)
A thousand moons will quiver;
(A thou-zend moons wil kwi-vuhr;)
But not by thee my steps shall be,
(But naht bahy thee my steps shal bi,)
For ever and for ever.
(For ev-er and for ev-er.)
