• Lyrics:
  One kind wish before we part,
  Drop a tear and bid adieu;
  Though we sever, my fond heart,
  'Til we meet, shall pant for you.
  
  Yet, yet weap not so, my love,
  Let me kiss that falling tear;
  Though my body must remove,
  All my soul will still be here.
  
  All my soul, and all my heart,
  And every wish shall pant for you,
  One kind kiss, then, ere we part,
  Drop a tear and bid adieu.
