Parting Poem by Jean Froissart

Parting



The body goes, the spirit stays;
Dear lady, till we meet, farewell!
Too far from thee my home must be;
The body goes, the soul delays; -
Dearest of ladies, fare thee well!

But sweeter thoughts that in me dwell
The anguish of my grief outweigh; -
Dearest of ladies, fare thee well!
The body goes, the soul may stay.
