"Until we meet again" in Morse Code

About this phrase

“Until we meet again” is four words, 16 letters — about 48 morse symbols — the Irish farewell phrase that expresses the belief that separation is temporary. A memorial and long-distance keepsake.

Cultural context

'Until we meet again' is associated with Irish and Irish-American farewell culture, appearing in songs, poetry, and memorial language. 'God Be With You Till We Meet Again' (1882) by Jeremiah Rankin is one of the oldest documented uses. The phrase is premised on reunion — whether in this life (a temporary parting) or the next (a death farewell with religious comfort). In Irish immigrant communities, it served as the farewell at emigration when both parties knew the parting might be permanent. In contemporary memorial culture, the phrase is used at memorial services for people of faith who believe in reunion after death, and as a parting message before military deployment.

When to gift this phrase

Memorial pieces for people of faith who believe in reunion after death, military deployment parting gifts where the separation is long but expected to end, long-distance relationship keepsakes for a separation that has a known endpoint, and Irish or Irish-American heritage tribute pieces. The phrase is comforting specifically to people who share the reunion belief.

When this phrase is the wrong fit

Avoid for recipients who don't share the reunion-belief premise — for secular recipients or people who don't believe in an afterlife, the phrase can read as false comfort. Skip for purely physical separations without the memorial resonance. Don't use for relationships ending permanently.

How the morse encodes

'UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN' contains the double-E in 'MEET' — M (two dashes), E (one dot), E (one dot), T (one dash) — which creates a pattern of dah-dah / dot / dot / dash. That brief two-dot cluster at the center of 'MEET' is one of the most recognizable two-letter back-to-back E combinations in common English words.

Most common use cases

• Memorial farewell piece
• Military deployment parting gift
• Long-distance relationship keepsake
