ADIEU-FAREWELL-PARTING. 1. With that, wringing my hand he turn'd away, And though his tears would hardly let him look, 2. I part with thee As wretches, that are doubtful of hereafter, Part with their lives, unwilling, loath and fearful, DANIEL. ROWE. 3. Then came the parting hour, and what arise 4. "T were vain to speak, to weep, to sigh; CRABBE'S Hall. 5. Farewell!-a word that hath been and must be, A sound that makes us linger-yet, farewell! BYRON. BYRON'S Childe Harold. 6. Let's not unman each other-part at once; 7. One struggle more, and I am free From pangs that rend my heart in twain; Then back to busy life again. BYRON. 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.

We part-no matter how we part; There are some thoughts we utter not; RICHARD HENRY WILDE. 222 ADIEU-FAREWELL-PARTING. 21. And now farewell! farewell!-I dare not lengthen This is our last farewell-our last fond meeting; MRS. A. B. WELBY. 22. I heard thy low whisper'd farewell, love, And silently saw thee depart― Ay, silent for how could words tell, 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; Forget me not-forget me not! 25. 'T was bitter then to rend the heart With the sad word that we must part, 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. Good luck, good husbands, and good bye to you! 28. But O! whate'er my fate may be, And time alone that tale can tell, J. T. WATSON. May you be happy, blest, and free J. T. WATSON.'
