ASH-LEAVED TRUMPET FLOWER.—Bignonia.

Separation.

Farewell to thee, Love,
When I meet thee again,
Light hearts will be round us,
And pageantries vain;
But well do I know
In life's sunniest hours
Thou 'lt think of our meeting
'Mid moonlight and flowers.
Farewell to thee, dearest,
And oh! in thy dreams,
When fancy sheds o'er thee
Her loveliest beams,
Then think of our roving
In summer's fair bowers—

70

And remember our meeting,
'Mid moonlight and flowers.
