Burns's Songs/Eliza

ELIZA.

Tune—Gilderoy

FROM thee Eliza, I must go,
And from my native shore;
The cruel fates between us throw,
A boundless ocean’s roar:
But boundless oceans roaring wide,
Between my love and me,
They never, never can divide
My heart and soul from thee:
well, farewell, Eliza, dear,
the maid that I adore!
(illegible text)voice is in mine ear,
(illegible text)part to meet no more!
(illegible text)the last throb that leaves my heart,
(illegible text)death stands victor by,
(illegible text)throb, Eliza, is thy part,
and thine that latest sigh!
