I HAVE SENT BACK EV'RY TOKEN.

[_]

(Italian Air.)

I

I have sent back ev'ry token,
Which you gave me long ago;
When those fond vows first were spoken,
Which are cancelled now I know:
I resign them, but to-morrow
Oh! how lonely shall I be!
They have soothed me in my sorrow;
They reminded me of Thee.

II

Take thy dear harp, 'twill forsake me
As all other joys depart:
But alas! thou canst not make me
Chace its music from my heart:
Tho' I lose it, and these numbers
Which I waken, are the last;
Fancy oft will bless my slumbers
With the sweet notes of the past.
