FAREWELL, HOPE!
Farewell, Hope! I cry:
I'll not mope,—not I.
If in her refusal She
Will continue, let it be!
Other Hope I'll try.
I'll not mope,—not I.
If in her refusal She
Will continue, let it be!
Other Hope I'll try.
I'll not care,—not I:
So, Despair, good-bye!
Thou shalt never bankrupt me:
Love with One as fair as She
Yet may share a sigh.
So, Despair, good-bye!
Thou shalt never bankrupt me:
Love with One as fair as She
Yet may share a sigh.
Love Thee though I die,
Dearest Woe! and why?
Too long hast thou pinion'd me:
Other Love shall set me free,—
One I know, near by.
Dearest Woe! and why?
Too long hast thou pinion'd me:
Other Love shall set me free,—
One I know, near by.
