No time for a last farewell
No time for a shock or fear;
Scarcely a moment's halt on the shore,
With the guide and the boatman near -
Dear, how surprised you were to go,
With little to suffer, little to know.
Only a moment of dark,
A dream of the fleeting night;
And the beautiful break of day
And the quiet peace of light;
And you found yourself where you longed to stand
In the repose of the fatherland.
