Bid me Good-morning!

From the poem, Life, by Anna Letitia Barbauld (1743–1825), a prominent  English poet, essayist, literary critic, editor, and children's author, these lines...

Life! we have 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!
