FAREWELL.

Tonight SIT in the freight
The glow Of the Pickering fame,
Ringing the white walls around me
Like a maiden's blash Of shame.
Outside the wind blows loudly,
Then dies away in a sigh;
And the autumn leaves are whirling,
Down low in the grass to die.
Yes withered and fading away,
The leaves are lying there
That have bloomed and died as my bright
hopes did
Ia the breath Of the summer air.
Out Of the darkened shadows,
A vision there comes to me;
A msiden's face gentle and pure,
A woman's form fair to see.
Her beautiful raven tresses
Her tender dark brown eyes
Ny darlinV-my sad heart shudders
That we must say goodbye,
Not dead-but warm and living;
Meier dead to my loving heart
And tonight the thought comes Ger me,
How bitter it is to part.
'Tis sweet to love in the summer tide,
When the days went but TOO fast
But the sweet bright dream is Ger now,
And am all at one with the past.
Farewell little love- It's hard to think,
When a dagger strikes the breast,
A dagger more cold than ever was steel)
That it all is for the best.
Your life will be thrown with the young and
fair,
o sweet may it be to you,
Though suffer alone unnoticed here,
Away from your thoughtess view,
The wind means on through the signing trees,
The FIRE is feeble and low
And nv sad heart breaks ia the silence lone,
o Godl that it must be so.
Farewell, Farewell in the gathering gloom,
The words my bright hopes sever
And out of my life you have passed for aye,
Out Of my life forever. H.
