    The bird leaps,
    The branch waves,
    Goodbye.
    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

    Now these three
    remain: faith, hope,
    and love.

    When love fails,
    can faith and hope
    endure?

    Faith and hope
    Lead us back to love

    Gasping,
    anguished,
    in love undone,
    you sink,
    breathless.
