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.
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.'
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!
But thou alone canst claim my heart:
Alas, that wordliness and pride
Should two such faithful lovers part!
