Memories

Once more, once more, my Mary dear,
/ sit by that lone stream,
Where first within thy timid ear
breathed loves burning dream.
The birds we loved still tell their tale
OF music, on each spray,
And still the wild rose decks the vale
But thou art far away,
seem to hear thee speak my name
In sweet low murmurs now;
7 seem to feel thy breath of flame
Upon my cheek and brow
On my cold lips I feel they kiss,
Thy heart to mine is laid
Alas, that such dream of bliss
Like other dreams should fade!
