Good bye
Language: English
There is a word of grief the sounding token. There is a word bejewelled with bright tears. The saddest word fond lips have ever spoken, a little word that breaks the chain of years. Its utterance must ever bring emotion, the memories it crystals cannot die. 'Tis known in every land, [on]1 every ocean, 'tis called Goodbye.
