I must away, I must away, Love ! brace me with a smile ! Heed not this dark and low’ring day ! 1 can but last awhile. Adieu ! I must away ; I must away. Adieu .1 dear Betsy ! See ! our ship’s Now got her sails unfurled ; Just one more kiss, sweet, from thy lips ; ’Twill cheer me around the world. And now I swear by those soft eyes — Twin stars—by which I’ll steer When calms beset or storms arise, Still, thou’lt be ever near. Adieu ! I must away : I must away. Adieu ! dear Betsy ! do not weep When I am from thy side ! But pray God, one who braves the deep To claim thee soon as bride ! And now may Heaven, who hath the power To shield the Weak, forldrn, Guard and direct thee, love, until Thy sailor-boy return ! • Adieu 1 I must away ! I must away ! Nospur.
