ON PARTING.
Alas! our pleasant moments fly
On rapid wings away,
While those recorded with a sigh,
Mock us by long delay.
On rapid wings away,
While those recorded with a sigh,
Mock us by long delay.
Time,—envious time,—loves not to be
In company with mirth,
But makes malignant pause to see
The work of pain on earth.
In company with mirth,
But makes malignant pause to see
The work of pain on earth.
