Hinged deep with Faiths unchanging hue;

The silen, fount, the shaded grot,
And sweetly to the heart it speak,
Forgetmc-not, forgei-me-not.
Mild as the azure Of thine eyes,
Soft as the hallo-beam above,
In tender whispers still it signs,

There where thy last steps turned away,
Wet eyes shall watch the sacred spot,
And this sweet flower be heard to say,
Forget! ali, no forgetme-not.
Yet deep its azure leaves within

And what that secret grief hath been,
