John McChord

Farewell





I dread of shortening rays,

And browning leaves 

 

Ponder, must they fall?

And why I should depart as well.

 

And where I go the sun must too

To hope she sets and carries you, 

 

My floating state beacons cirrus

Dear friends, I know not what may defeat us 

 

So for now, 

Farewell
