• Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
  My love, you are in my heart.

  And be reunited by and by.

  Though living is no newer.

• Of course, there is nothing new about this kind of civil disobedience. It was seen sublimely in the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to obey the laws of Nebuchadnezzar because a higher moral law was involved.
