SONG.

[O cruel maid, adieu! adieu!]

O cruel maid, adieu! adieu!
Thy loss I ever shall deplore;
A thousand griefs my path pursue,
And joy shall gild that path no more.
Lost to the world—of hope bereft—
I view my fate with streaming eyes—
By Love forgot, by Friendship left,
By all deserted but my sighs.
