THOU BIDS'T ME FORGET.
Thou bid'st me forget thee ; Alas! 'tis in vain, Nor absence nor distance My heart can enchain. Too firmly 'tis bound In those fetters of love Which nought can dissolve But some power from above. Thou bid'st me forget thee; Ah ! when shall that be? Since the, poles musi unite Breu think not qi thee ; And the.§utt in his glqry' r No light shall inipait " * • ; When thy dear remembrance Can fade from my heart. Thou bids't me forget thee ; r • I ne'er can obey, Till nij soul takes its flight From this dwelling of clay. Ah ! then, even then, It's direction 'twould prove, < And lead thy dear image To regions above !
