When the far horizon’s verge
Hides tho loved one from our sight,
Fancy, following o’er the surge,
Havers round the good ship’s (light,
What, tho* oceans intervening,
The loving from die loved may part—
It is nut of idle dreaming
That ihe loving inect in heart!
Through the lapse of weary years,
Alternating hopes and fears,
Unman ioys and human cares, •
F.irtii-t>ora murmurs, heaven winged prayers,
Still, oh! still tlie tend heart turns
To toe love lor which it yearns!
II.
Memory of past affection
lends to Fancy swiftest wings,
And each hallowed recollection
Colors new imaginings.
What, tlio’ Death his prey have claimed,
And vve meet in time no more—
Tim' the beating heart be tamed,
There is no “ Lethean shore I"
Klill, oh! still the fond hope cherish,
That affoctions never perish;
And tho loved one, weaned from lifo’s
Cankering cares and wearying strifes,
Nears with more unwearied feet
When the loved and loving meet!
