THE FAREWELL.
Farewell to the girl of my heart! ah! farewell!
That pang may be felt, which the tongue cannot tell!
The sailor is leaving Old England once more;
And the girl of his heart must lament on the shore.
That pang may be felt, which the tongue cannot tell!
The sailor is leaving Old England once more;
And the girl of his heart must lament on the shore.
Farewell my dear Love, ah! my bosom will burn,
For prosperous voyage and happy return;
The clouds, and the winds, and the waters will rise,
And swell my sad heart with anxieties sighs.
For prosperous voyage and happy return;
The clouds, and the winds, and the waters will rise,
And swell my sad heart with anxieties sighs.
Farewell my dear maiden! O do not despair,
The waters are calm, and the winds they are fair;
My vessel is Hope, and the Pilot above
Will guide me in safety again to my love.
The waters are calm, and the winds they are fair;
My vessel is Hope, and the Pilot above
Will guide me in safety again to my love.
Farewell then Farewell! thou art brave, thou art true,
Dear friend of my heart, my kind sailor adieu!
The boatswain is ready; the parting is o'er;
The maiden is left to lament on the shore.
Dear friend of my heart, my kind sailor adieu!
The boatswain is ready; the parting is o'er;
The maiden is left to lament on the shore.
