260 Farewell, thou fairest one,

Unplighted yet to me,

Uncertain of thine own

I gave my heart to thee.

That untold early love

I leave untold to-day,

My lips in whisper move

Farewell to.....!

Far away, far away.

Farewell I breathe again

To dim New England's shore;

My heart shall beat not when

I pant for thee no more.

In yon green palmy isle,

Beneath the tropic ray,

I murmur never while

For thee and thine I pray;

Far away, far away.
