A. L. Barbauld Quote

“Life! we've been long together Through pleasant and through cloudy weather; 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear,— Perhaps 'twill 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."”
