FAREWELL! we part as ne'er before
I've parted been from thee,
For we, alas, shall meet no more
Upon Life's troubled sea!
We met when Summer's glorious prime
Poured radiance o'er the earth,
When breezes, as of southern clime,
Woo'd the young blossoms forth.
No blossoms now their leaves unfold,
No fragrant zephyrs blow;
And the long night, so dark and cold,
Steals silent o'er the snow.
Thus o'er my heart stern shadows speed,
There reigns a deeper night;
For I have "sown the wind" for seed,
And "reaped the whirlwind's" might!
The summer will, ere long, restore
To earth her fragrant flowers,
But to my heart it brings no more
Its joyous, happy hours!
