ADIEU, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Remember me when I am far away
Last Line: Behind me sinks the california shore!
Subject(s): Farewell; Parting


Remember me when I am far away,
On boreal or on equatorial shore.
Adieu! I'll see San Pablo's sapphire bay,
And Mount Diablo's misty top no more.

Adieu! Adieu! I seek the deep gray sea,
Which like the unknown future lies before.
While, emblem of my happy hours with thee,
Behind me sinks the California shore!
