PARTING.
^.$dUd
dplfl^'e shall be parted in the years to come
^^SlJÜ But will our friendship ever be forgot?
And when around you other friends and ties
Make you forgetful, though you will it not,
Shall you with thoughtful pleasure ever dwell
Upon the days so sweet to you and me,
And pleasant hours in field and lane and dell,
Which we have spent in happiness and glee.
What do I wish you dear, upon your way?
Ah! all the happiness that life can hold
You would not understand were I to say
What good I wish youwords are far too cold
To half express my heart's deep thoughts and tell
How bright and glad I wish your path to be
And how truly say to you: «Farewell,"
through all the years of life that you may see.
