SONG.
[Farewell my darling, the dawn of to-morrow]
Farewell my darling, the dawn of to-morrow,
Will waken us, bitterly sever'd at heart;
Yet tho' thou leav'st me be-darkened in sorrow,
To bleed from the cold world in silence apart—
Though nought but fruit of pain crowneth Love's blossom,
Still will I live for thee, darling, and when
The world shall forsake thee, O turn to my bosom,
My heart will forgive thee, with “welcome again.”
Will waken us, bitterly sever'd at heart;
Yet tho' thou leav'st me be-darkened in sorrow,
To bleed from the cold world in silence apart—
Though nought but fruit of pain crowneth Love's blossom,
Still will I live for thee, darling, and when
The world shall forsake thee, O turn to my bosom,
My heart will forgive thee, with “welcome again.”
When thou'rt aweary, and high hopes are blighted,
And thy young yearnings, far-wanderers, come
From the world's highways all wreckt and benighted,
To nestle and bleed in their desolate home—
When life hath no spring-burst of beauty and blossom,
Still with I live for thee, darling, and when
The world shall forsake thee, O turn to my bosom,
My heart will forgive thee with “welcome again.”
And thy young yearnings, far-wanderers, come
From the world's highways all wreckt and benighted,
To nestle and bleed in their desolate home—
When life hath no spring-burst of beauty and blossom,
Still with I live for thee, darling, and when
The world shall forsake thee, O turn to my bosom,
My heart will forgive thee with “welcome again.”
