Farewell unkind farewell to me no more a father
Since my heart my heart holds my love most dear.
The wealth which thou dost reap another`s hand must gather
Though my heart my heart still lies buried there.
Then farewell then farewell O farewell
Welcome my love welcome my joy forever.

`Tis not the vain desire of human fleeting beauty
Makes my mind to live though my means do die.
Nor do I Nature wrong though I forget my duty
Love not in the blood but in the spirit doth lie.
Then farewell then farewell O farewell
Welcome my love welcome my joy forever.
