Parting

[chosen_boss]

Limpid eyes that I do love so,
Come back to me from your place in the earth;
Come back to me from that celestial place.
Show me just once more your lovely face.

Vernal being with a spot in my heart,
Draw near to me from your seat afar;
Draw near to me from that heavenly seat.
Be with my just once more; Just once more shall we meet.

Daughter, love of my life, part of my being,
I miss you more than you will ever know;
I miss you more than you should ever know.
But, not, I find, that we must truly part.

this is pretty good, yet confusing. what exactly does it mean?

It's a father writing what he thinks about his daughter's recent death. Just about everyone who has read it thinks that it is about a persons mourning the death of their lover, and are often thrown off by the daughter part.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened to me! It's very good, though.

Thanks! I'm glad that I could help you understand it.
