Farewell Sweet City!

Farewell 
Farewell sweet city! Farewell my home! Farewell green parks I long to roam. Be not doleful, But blithe and gay For I will return a sweeter day. Farewell tall spires! Farewell Serpentine! Farewell the happiness that could be mine. Farewell austere arches and cobblestone paths! Farewell rolling hills and Roman baths! Farewell, good Sir, And pray do tell: On my new endeavours Do you wish me well? Farewell wry smiles and withering looks! Farewell sordid prose and voluptuous books! Farewell sweet city! Farewell my home! Farewell green parks I long to roam. Be not doleful, But blithe and gay For I will return a sweeter day. Simone von Salomé
