"THOUGH LOST TO SIGHT, TO MEMORY DEAR."
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir,—ln an issue of your paper a short time back, I saw an enquiry as to the author of "Though lost to sight, to memory dear," having since met with the lines, I enclose them with name of author, date, and journal in which they were first published.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, Charles E. Forder.
[Written by Ruthvyn Jenkyns, and first pubiisJied in tlis " Greemvieh Magazine for Marines,'' in, IZOI or 1702.]
Sweetheart, good-bye ! The flattering sail Is spread to w«ft me far from thes, And sooK before the fav'ring gale My ship fhalJ bound upon the sea. Pe-cbsnce, all desolate and forlorn, These eyes shall miss thee many a year ; But unforgotten every charm, Though lost to sight, to memory dear. Sweetheart, good bye! One last embrace ! O cruel fate, two souls to sever ! Yet in the heart s most s»cred place Thou alone shal dwell for ever. And »till shall recollection trace, Jn fancy's mirror ever near. Each smile, each tear, that form, that face, Though lost to sight, to memory dear.
