Meeting

     If we shall live, we live:
If we shall die, we die:
If we live we shall meet again:
     But to-night, good-bye.
One word, let but one be heard—
       What, not one word?

If we sleep we shall wake again
     And see to-morrow's light:
If we wake, we shall meet again:
     But to-night, good-night.
     Good-night, my lost and found— 
       Still not a sound?

     If we live, we must part:
If we die, we part in pain:
     If we die, we shall part
     Only to meet again.
By those tears on either cheek,
     To-morrow you will speak.

     To meet, worth living for:
     Worth dying for, to meet.
     To meet, worth parting for:
     Bitter forgot in sweet.
     To meet, worth parting before,
     Never to part more.
