A LAST FAREWELL.
Farewell! Yet 'tis not now, not now we part!
Oh! false that thou hast been, and that thou art—
When changed thy soul—and when thy love was o'er,
'Twas then we parted—and for evermore.
Oh! false that thou hast been, and that thou art—
When changed thy soul—and when thy love was o'er,
'Twas then we parted—and for evermore.
Aye! false and too forgetful that thou art,
Worlds cannot sever—oceans cannot part:
Like falsehood—treachery—coldness;—then, farewell,
Near thee, thus severed,—it were death to dwell!
Worlds cannot sever—oceans cannot part:
Like falsehood—treachery—coldness;—then, farewell,
Near thee, thus severed,—it were death to dwell!
