Poems (Baldwyn)/The Lover's Remembrance
THE LOVER'S REMEMBRANCE.
The sun now sets, the western sky Is blushing as it sinks to rest; Thus fair was she for whom I sigh, When first I held her to my breast.
But soon the evening gloom appears, And spreads its mantle o'er the sky; And dew-drops fall,—thus fell thy tears When we, my Mary, said 'Good-bye.'
Yes, I shall wed another bride, But thou alone canst claim my heart: Alas, that wordliness and pride Should two such faithful lovers part!
