Falling leaf and fading tree
Lines of white in a sullen sea
Shadows rising on you and me
Shadows rising on you and me
The swallows are making them ready to fly
Wheeling out on a windy sky
Good-bye, Summer! 
Good-bye, Good-bye, Summer Good-bye!

Hush! A voice from the faraway!
Listen and learn, it seems to say
All tomorrows shall be as today
All tomorrows shall be as today
The chords is frayed the cruse is dry
The link must break, and the lamp must die
Good-bye, to Hope! Good-bye, Good-bye!
Good-bye, to Hope! Good-bye, Good-bye!

What are we waiting for? Oh! My heart!
Kiss me straight on the brows!
And part! Again! Again! My heart!
What are we waiting for, you and I?
A pleading look, a stifled cry
Good-bye, forever! Good-bye, forever!
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye!
