Poems (Charlotte Allen)/We'll meet again
WE'LL MEET AGAIN.
We 'll meet again! although not where
So oft hath been our meeting;
Though not among the circle gay,
Will be our future greeting.
So oft hath been our meeting;
Though not among the circle gay,
Will be our future greeting.
We 'll meet again! but not where mirth,
And fashion hold their power;
Not 'mong the busy scenes and joys,
That gild life's passing hour.
And fashion hold their power;
Not 'mong the busy scenes and joys,
That gild life's passing hour.
We 'll meet again! but not among
The few to friendship dear;
No more at evening's gentle shade,
Will be our meeting here.
The few to friendship dear;
No more at evening's gentle shade,
Will be our meeting here.
Well meet again! and only once,
But meet to part no more;
When this brief, fleeting life is done,
We 'll meet on Heaven's shore!
But meet to part no more;
When this brief, fleeting life is done,
We 'll meet on Heaven's shore!
