GO! MAY'ST THOU BE HAPPY.
I
Go! may'st thou be happy,Though sadly we part;
In life's early summer
Grief breaks not the heart;
96
As speedily pass
As shades o'er a mirror,
Which stain not the glass.
II
Reject not my token,Though soon thou wilt be
Far over the billows,
Forgetful of me;
To me, and me only,
'Tis anguish to part.
For thou wilt meet kindness
Wherever thou art.
III
And oh! when beholdingA different scene,
When leaves fall around you
That used to be green;
May winter be clothed in
His loveliest form,
With all of his grandeur,
But none of his storm,
