But then to part! to part when Time Has wreathed his tireless wing with flowers, And spread the richness of a clime Of fairy o'er this land of ours; When glistening leaves and shaded streams In the soft light of Autumn lay, And, like the music of our dreams, The viewless breezes seemed to stray- 'T was bitter then to rend the heart With the sad thought that we must part; And, like some low and mournful spell, To whisper but one word-farewell! (Park Benjamin, Sr.)
