A FAREWELL.
FAREWELL, O dream of mine! I dare not stay;The hour is come, and time Will not delay:Pleasant and dear to me Wilt thou remain;No future hour Brings thee again.
She stands, the Future dim, And draws me on,And shows me dearer joys,— But thou art gone!Treasures and Hopes more fair Bears she for me,And yet I linger, O dream, with thee!
Other and brighter days Perhaps she brings;Deeper and holier songs Perchance she sings;But thou and I, fair time, We too must sever:—O dream of mine, Farewell for ever!
