The Last Link Is Broken.


NJ SARAH J. c. wHiTTLEsEr..
But stis useless to upbraid thee.
With thy past present stuss,
What thou vast thy fancy ma5c .trr,
What thou art | know too Into.
Byron.
The last link that bound me To thee Il broken,
Tho heart that once loved thee is free;
The bosom whose peace you've invaded gives token
OF signs, but il signs not for thee.
The bright bud. that bioomcd In lifes earlier Year,
In this bosom lie blighted and dead;
And the lcafe. Of memory hang dripping with tears
For the Joys that forever have fled.
You know once loved thee, though now am free,
Ave, loved thee too fondly in vains
All the hopes Of my young heart were given to thee,
All, can you return them againi
Can you give back the trust Of lfes roseate hours,
The peace Of an unfctter'd hearth
Can you give back the freshness Of Loves faded
flowers,
Whose bloom thou hast hidden DEPART
No more, ali, no more can their beauty return,
SO crushed by wo's dcadliesf blast.
kad Memory hangs weeping around the pale urn.
That marks the DARK grave of the post
cannot upbrad thee. go. 60 and forget,
Or smile at the wreck thou hast made;
Unnurnbered with days be the day that we met,
Prelude to affection betrayed.
"The last link is brokcn"--our paths lead apart
May GOODNESS inspirit thy way,
Nor Rcmnrse thrust It's venomons fang TO thy heart,
For the bias thou hast blasted for aye.
Farewell what a waste OF pale hopes lies afar,
Evoked by that soul stirring sirain,
Sweet hopes that lie crushed with loves earliest
To blsss us, ahl never again.
Farewell, thou hast darkcned the heart that was
thine,
TWINS The semblancc Of honor that bound ii;
m return TO thee calmly the one that was mine,
Wit, 10 vine Of affection around it,
Farewell! aye, Farewell. oil our dreamings were
vain;
Uadst thou known how this bosom could feel,
Thau surely hadst spared il the whitening pain,
Beyond earthly power TO heal.
FAREWELL can brave thy upbradngs and tears,
Nor weep for the liak that is broken;
The chords thou coulds waken in long buried yehrs
Give back to thy name not a token
FareoeH and forcyc,! when thought wends AWAY
To the heart thnt fondy wns thine;
Remembrance viii whi.phcr its mnddcning lay,
And remorse sting the one that was mine.
