Farewell! if ever fondest prayer
\nFor other’s weal availed on high,
\nMine will not all be lost in air,
\nBut waft thy name beyond the sky.
\n‘Twere vain to speak, to weep, to sigh:
\nOh! more than tears of blood can tell,
\nWhen wrung from guilt’s expiring eye,
\nAre in that word – Farewell! – Farewell!<\/p>\n
These lips are mute, these eyes are dry;
\nBut in my breast and in my brain,
\nAwake the pangs that pass not by,
\nThe thought that ne’er shall sleep again.
\nMy soul nor deigns nor dares complain,
\nThough grief and passion there rebel;
\nI only know we loved in vain –
\nI only feel – Farewell! – Farewell!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
