ALAS! how sad to bid farewell
To those whom tenderly we love!
Our trembling lips refuse to tell
What sighs more eloquently prove.
And O the last- last parting gaze-
How deep it sinks within the heart!
Th' expressive tearful eye essays
The soul's fond anguish to impart.
But ah! no tears- no sighs that break
From the unconscious breast, can tell
Our agony when forc'd to take
A long- perhaps a last farewell
