LINES WRITTEN IN A BOWER, by                    
First Line: Dear, lovely bow'r, to-morrow morn
Last Line: Though leaving earth for heav'n.
Alternate Author Name(s): Shackleton, Mary
Subject(s): Death; Farewell; Dead, The; Parting


Dear, lovely bow'r, to-morrow morn
From thee I haste away:
Say, will the sun with smiles adorn
That melancholy day!

Ah yes! the sun as bright will shine,
The flow'rs as gaily blow;
Nought but this hapless heart of mine
Will wear the gloom of wo.

How quickly am I forc'd to haste
From scenes so fair and new!
Thy charms I just began to taste;
Sweet Abbeville, adieu.

What though to me more lovely vales
And sweeter shades are giv'n!—
A pang the parting spirit feels,
Though leaving earth for Heav'n.
