At this time of my parting lyrics

At this time of my parting, wish me good luck, my friends!

The sky is flushed with the dawn

and my path lies beautiful.

Ask not what I have with me to take there.

I start on my journey with empty hands

and expectant heart.

I shall put on my wedding garland.

Mine is not the red-brown dress of the traveller,

and though there are dangers on the way

I have no fear in mind.

The evening star will come out when my voyage is done

and the plaintive notes of the twilight melodies

be struck up from the King's gateway.
