155
TO A LADY,
ON PARTING WITH A COPY OF THE “DEWDROPS.”
Adieu, gentle fair! and till fate shall decree
Again to restore thee to friendship and me,
Accept of this token of brotherly love,
The “Dewdrops” of mercy distilled from above.
Again to restore thee to friendship and me,
Accept of this token of brotherly love,
The “Dewdrops” of mercy distilled from above.
And when the sad period of absence is past,
And those thou art leaving embrace thee at last,
No tears of regret shall their rapture annoy,
But Dewdrops shall sparkle in sunbeams of joy.
And those thou art leaving embrace thee at last,
No tears of regret shall their rapture annoy,
But Dewdrops shall sparkle in sunbeams of joy.
