SONG.
SAPPHO TO PHAON.
I
When the dew is in the flower,When thy barque is on the sea,
Then I'll breathe from yon lone tower,
Adieu! adieu! remember me.
II
O'er the darkling waters farShall my thoughts, upspringing free,
Waft a prayer to yonder star,
Adieu! adieu! remember me.
III
I will hail the seamew's note,Bid it bear these words to thee;
On the breeze their sound shall float,
Adieu! adieu! remember me.
IV
Remember years by friendship tried,They will not sure forgotten be,
Nor start to hear still at thy side,
Adieu! adieu! remember me.
