I.
Farewell, and when to-morrow
Seems little, like to-day,
And we find life's deepest sorrow
Melts gradual away;
Yet do not quite forget me,
Though our love be o'er;
Let gentle dreams regret me
When we shall meet no more.
Not painfully, not often,
Remembrance shall intrude;
But let my image soften
Sometimes your solitude.
Let twilight sad and tender
Recall our parting tear.
Ah! hope I might surrender,
But memory is too dear.
