Fare well my friends and loving souls

I have come home

And here to greet my blest return

Were all whom I have loved on earth

Whose joy at my return

In love o’erwhelming filled my soul

With ecstasy and great delight

I look upon the life I led

When I was in the world with you

And grieve at all the wrongs I did

The times when love should rule my soul

That I in foolishness denied

The thought, the word, the action when

I should have taken other paths

I know perfection was not mine

Nor is it yours, my loving friends

I only ask you to forgive

As I do you for hurt of me

Rejoice for any good I gave

And bless you for you good to me

I carry with me all the love

That links us now and gives me strength

For I would ask you loving thoughts

As I to you will send my own.
