English text

Until we meet!
Oh, farewell word, so sad, so sweet,
By lips of dear ones spoken,
We give and take love’s token,
And still we pause, and still repeat,
Until we meet!

Until we meet!
Oh, farewell word, so sad, so sweet,
Until we meet!

Until we meet,
Our joys imperfect to complete!
Keep back the sigh that’s telling,
The tide of grief high swelling,
Fly winged, fly winged time’s leaden feet,
Until we meet!

Until we meet!
Oh, farewell word, so sad, so sweet,
We check the tear that’s starting,
And meet by faith in parting,
We part in hope, as then we greet,
Until we meet!
