TONE-POETRY OF ROBERT BURNS
No. 27. From thee Eliza, I must go.
From thee Eliza, I must go,
And from my native shore: The cruel fates between us throw
A boundless ocean's roar; But boundless oceans, roaring wide
Between my love and me, They never, never can divide
My heart and soul from thee.
Farewell, farewell, Eliza dear,
The maid that I adore! A boding voice is in mine ear,
We part to meet no more! But the latest throb that leaves my heart,
While Death stands victor by, That throb, Eliza, is thy part,
And thine that latest sigh!
