a farewell

• alfred lord tennyson'ın bir şiiri:
  
  flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,
  thy tribute wave deliver:
  no more by thee my steps shall be,
  for ever and for ever.
  
  flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,
  a rivulet then a river:
  nowhere by thee my steps shall be
  for ever and for ever.
  
  but here will sigh thine alder tree
  and here thine aspen shiver;
  and here by thee will hum the bee,
  for ever and for ever.
  
  a thousand suns will stream on thee,
  a thousand moons will quiver;
  but not by thee my steps shall be,
  for ever and for ever.
