GOOD-BYE. Can I ever forget those sad moments We stood all alone, Whilst my ! ifa seemed to darken and sadden. My heart became stone. With your head on my shoulder, love nestled. Your breath on my cheek, Aa my lips strove to murmur the farewell They never could speak ? Can I ever forget when we stood there, Both saying good-bye. When the tears from your eyes, love, were stream ng As I gave sigh for sight For my heart it was heavy and leaden, And sad as oould be. Ah! that night there were none under heaven More wretched than we. Ah! sad, sad is the hour of love’s parting And sad is tbe day. When the words of the farewell are spoken, Then joy flies away. And through long years we mourn for the moments Fcr ever more fled, But we cannot recall days departed Or hopes that are dead. A. B. T. Christchurch. November 6th. 1860.
