[Lady farewell! ... bear with thee o'er the wave]
Lady farewell! ... bear with thee o'er the wave
Back to the scenes we lov'd in early youth,
My wishes, hopes—aye pray'rs—if aught so grave
From one so frivolous may seem like truth!
Back to the scenes we lov'd in early youth,
My wishes, hopes—aye pray'rs—if aught so grave
From one so frivolous may seem like truth!
Farewell! ... Thou wilt forget both them and me
Before thy vessel cleaves the foaming main—
But of the brief—bright moments passed with thee
I shall a deep remembrance long retain!
Before thy vessel cleaves the foaming main—
But of the brief—bright moments passed with thee
I shall a deep remembrance long retain!
