FAREWELL.
When eyes are beaming What never tongue might tell, When tears are streaming From their crystal cell : When hands are linked that dread to part. And heart is met by throbbinc heart ; On ! bitter, bittei in the smart Of them that bid farewell ! Wht» hope is chidden That fain of bliss would tell, And love forbidden In the breast to dwell ; When fettered by a viewless chain, We turn and gaze, and turn again ; Oh ! death were mercy to the pain Of them that bid farewell !
— Mirror.
