Farewell,oh dream of mine!
I dare not stay;
The hour is come,and time Will not delay:
Pleasant and dear to me Wilt thou remain;
No future hour Brings thee again.
She stands,the Future dim,And draws me on,And shows me dearer joys -But thou art gone!
Treasures and Hopes more fair,Bears she for me,And yet I linger,Oh dream,with thee!
Other and brighter days,Perhaps she brings;
Deeper and holier songs,Perchance she sings;But thou and I,fair time,We too must sever -Oh dream of mine,Farewell for ever!
