Goodbye, my friend, goodbye

My love, you are in my heart.

It was preordained we should part

And be reunited by and by.

Goodbye: no handshake to endure.

Let's have no sadness - furrowed brow.

There's nothing new in dying now

Though living is no newer.

Written in his own blood, and given to a friend the day before he hanged himself.

-Sergei Esenin, Russian poet, d.Dec.28,1925
