Thou ling'ring star with less'ning ray,
That lov'st to greet the early morn, Again thou usher'st in the day
My Mary from my soul was torn. O Mary, dear departed shade!
Where is thy place of blissful rest ? See'st thou thy lover lowly laid?
Hear'st thou the groans that rend his breast?
That sacred hour can I forget,
Can I forget the hallow'd grove, Where, by the winding Ayr, we met
To live one day of parting love ? Eternity can not efface
Those records dear of transports past, Thy image at our last embrace:
Ah ! little thought we 'twas our last! |
