PARTING OF NORMA AND ANNA.
Morning rose, but rose in vain,
To dispel love's teasing pain;
Still the bitter tear and sigh
Burst from Anna's heart and eye:
The grief she felt what tongue can tell,
To bid her Scottish lad—Farewell?
To dispel love's teasing pain;
Still the bitter tear and sigh
Burst from Anna's heart and eye:
The grief she felt what tongue can tell,
To bid her Scottish lad—Farewell?
Still he tried, with cheering smile,
Sorrow from her look to wile;
But, alas! his every art
Fail'd to soothe her throbbing heart;
For still her breast did higher swell,
To bid her Scottish lad—Farewell!
Sorrow from her look to wile;
But, alas! his every art
Fail'd to soothe her throbbing heart;
For still her breast did higher swell,
To bid her Scottish lad—Farewell!
Love's ecstatic tide did flow
Through her soul, though mix'd with woe;
Silence stay'd her falt'ring tongue
As around his neck she hung;
And still the tears in torrents fell,
To bid her Scottish lad—Farewell!
Through her soul, though mix'd with woe;
Silence stay'd her falt'ring tongue
As around his neck she hung;
And still the tears in torrents fell,
To bid her Scottish lad—Farewell!
When they took the parting kiss,
Lovely sign of future bliss,
Long they gazed, with meaning eye,
Heaving oft the mutual sigh;
And each did feel the bosom knell,
To say the grievous word—Farewell!
Lovely sign of future bliss,
Long they gazed, with meaning eye,
Heaving oft the mutual sigh;
And each did feel the bosom knell,
To say the grievous word—Farewell!
