TO A DEPARTING FAVORITE.
Thou mayst retire but think of me,
When thou art gone afar,
Where'er in life thy travels be,
If tost along the brackish sea,
Or borne upon the car.
When thou art gone afar,
Where'er in life thy travels be,
If tost along the brackish sea,
Or borne upon the car.
Thou mayst retire I care not where,
Thy name my theme shall be,
With thee in heart I shall be there,
Content thy good or ill to share,
If dared to lodge with thee.
Thy name my theme shall be,
With thee in heart I shall be there,
Content thy good or ill to share,
If dared to lodge with thee.
Thou mayst retire beyond thee deep
And leave thy sister train,
To roam the wilds where dangers sleep,
And leave affection sad to weep
In bitterness and pain.
And leave thy sister train,
To roam the wilds where dangers sleep,
And leave affection sad to weep
In bitterness and pain.
Thou mayst retire and yet be glad,
To leave me thus alone,
Lamenting and bewailing sad:
Farewell, thy sunk deluded lad,
May rise when thou art gone.
To leave me thus alone,
Lamenting and bewailing sad:
Farewell, thy sunk deluded lad,
May rise when thou art gone.
