4627 Anna Letitia (Aikin) Barbauld 1743-1825 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:4627
AUTHOR:Anna Letitia (Aikin) Barbauld (1743–1825)
QUOTATION:  Life! we ’ve been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
  ’T is hard to part when friends are dear,—
  Perhaps ’t will cost a sigh, a tear;
  Then steal away, give little warning,
    Choose thine own time;
Say not “Good night,” but in some brighter clime
    Bid me “Good morning.”
