Fare-well,
moth-er,
tears
are
beaming
Down
thy
pale
and
ten-der
cheek;
I
in
gems
and
ro-ses
gleam-ing,
Scarce
this
sad
farewell
can
speak.
2.
Fare-well,
mother,
now
I
leave
you,
Griefs
and
hopes
my
bo-som
swell;
One
to
trust,
who
may
de-ceive
me:
Fare-well,
moth-er,
fare
you
well.
The
above
tune
as
it
appears
was
composed
by
H.
S.
Reese
in
1869
specially
for
the
fourth
edition
of
the
Sacred
Harp,
and
so
far
as
we
have
been
able
to
find
has
never
been
published
in
any
other
book
except
the
Sacred
Harp
in
the
year
1869
and
in
the
revision
of
this
book
by
W.
M.
Cooper,
and
later
by
J.
L.
White,
each
in
separate
books
but
in
many
particulars
is
distinctly
different
from
each
other.
