FAREWELL, O dream of mine! I dare not stay; The hour is come, and time Will not delay; Pleasant and dear to me Wilt thou remain; No future hour Brings thee again. She stands, the Future dim, And draws me on, And shows me dearer joys, -- But thou art gone! Treasures and hopes more fair Bears she for me, And yet I linger, O dream, with thee!
