Herinneren is een vorm van ontmoeten…

Oh all the money that e'er I had, I spend it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done, alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and yoy be with you all

Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had, they are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had, they would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and I'll softly call good night and joy be with you all

My dearest dear, the time draws near when here no longer can I stay
There's not a comrade I leave behind, but is grieving for my going away
But since it has so ordered been what is once past can't be recalled
Now fill to me the parting glass, good night and peace be with you all.
