LAST LINES.
Thy notes, sweet Robin, soft as dew,
Heard soon or late, are dear to me;
To music I could bid adieu,
But not to thee!
Heard soon or late, are dear to me;
To music I could bid adieu,
But not to thee!
When from my heart Earth's lifeful throng
Shall pass away, no more to be,
Oh! Autumn's primrose, Robin's song,
Return to me!
Shall pass away, no more to be,
Oh! Autumn's primrose, Robin's song,
Return to me!
