Very Easy

"Good-bye, my friend! "
He takes her hand-
The pressures blend:
They understand
But vaguely why, with drooping eye,
Each moans-"Good-bye! -Good-bye!"
"Dear friend, good-bye! "
O she could smile
If she might cry
A little while! -
She says, "I _ought_ to smile-but I-
Forgive me-_There! _-Good-bye!"
"‘Good-bye? ' Ah, no:
I hate," says he,
"These ‘good-byes' so! "
"And _I_," says she,
"Detest them so-why, I should _die_
Were this a _real_ ‘good-bye! "
