Some region where the tabled Lotus grows.

Fair Louisiana's orange blossoms blow
only watch thy fading shores and weep,
Because bid farewell to Mexico.
Bright picture land! My thoughts like trailing
WIND back, thy hills, thy wales, thy lakes

Cling found thine affairs and thy ruined shrlnes
And Irvine where my stories and wheie memories

From what rare realns of lovelness turn
To sigh and say, farewell to Mexico.
New faint and fainter grows the line Of shore

While lke plume our white wake streams
Like one last friend. proud Orizaba stands
Against the sunset meath his crown of snow;
