35b. Farewell, my lovely friends, farewell

1.
Farewell, my lovely friends, farewell,
We must be separated,
In different regions we must dwell,
Distantly situated.
O let not this our friendship chill,
Though mountains rise between us,
May truth and justice guide our will,
And God from evil screen us.
