20 ADIEU - FAREWELL-PARTING. 8. Then fare thee well, deceitful maid, 9. "T were vain and foolish to regret thee; But now the moments bring The time of parting, with redoubled wing; 10. Fare thee well! yet think awhile BYRON. BYRON'S Corsair. On one whose bosom bleeds to doubt thee; And die with thee, than live without thee! 11. With all my soul, then let us part, Since both are anxious to be free; MOORE. MOORE. 12. Well-peace to thy heart, tho' another's it be; And health to thy cheek, tho' it bloom not for me. MOORE. 13. Enough that we are parted-that there rolls MOORE'S Lalla Rookh. 14. Go, thou vision wildly gleaming, 15. Vanish'd, like dew-drops from the spray, Are moments which in beauty flew; I cast life's brightest pearl away, And, false one, breathe my last adieu! W. G. CLARK. 16. Farewell, oh, farewell! thou hast broken the chain, And the links, that have bound us, are parted in twain; But long shall my heart in its sad sorrow tell How I grieved o'er thee, dear one !-farewell, oh, farewell! 17. One hurried kiss-one last, one long embrace One yearning look upon her tearful face- MRS. C. H. W. ESLING. 18. We parted in sadness, but spoke not of parting; CHARLES FENNO HOFFMAN. 19.

And now farewell! farewell!—I dare not lengthen This is our last farewell-our last fond meeting; 22. I heard thy low whisper'd farewell, love, The sorrow that swell'd in my heart? And my heart would have breathed, if it could, love, MRS. FRANCES OSGOOD. 23. Where'er I go, whate'er my lonely state, And when, perhaps, you're musing o'er my fate, Ah! then, forgive me-pitied let me part, Your frowns, too sure, would break my sinking heart. 24. We met ere yet the world had come To wither up the springs of youth; Amid the holy joys of home, And in the first warm blush of youth. We parted, as they never part Whose tears are doom'd to be forgot; 25. 'Twas bitter then to rend the heart And, like some low and mournful spell, To whisper but one word-farewell! 26. Life hath as many farewells As it hath sunny hours, And over some are scatter'd thorns, And over others, flowers. 27. And now, fair ladies, one and all, adieu, PARK BENJAMIN. MRS. L. P. SMITH.
