PARTING.

IT'S hard to cast lingering look
Upon our childhood's home,
And bid adieu to scenes endeared,
In stranger lands to roam.
IT'S sad to part with those we love;
To sever social ties
Tho separation more than aught,
The truth of friendship tries.
'Tis hard to clasp tn extended hand
And breathe a fond farewell,
To her whose gentle pressure speaks,
Fen more than tongue can tell.
IT'S sad to look into the eye
That oft has met our own,
And think the brightest JOY of life,
For one brief year has flown.
But sadder still the spectre-thought
Which haunts the absent heart
That few indeed so fondly meet,
AS feelingly they part.
