Thsns Edward and Eleanra.
thomson's edward and eleanora.
farewell, old scotia's bleak domains,
far dearer thaorrid plains,
where rianas blow!
farewell, a mother's blessing dear!
a borther's sigh! a sister's tear!
my jean's heart-rending throe!
farewell, my bess! tho' thou'rt bereft
of my paternal care.
a faithful brother i have left,
my part in him thou'lt share!
adieu, too, to you too,
my smith, my bosom frien';
when kindly you mind me,
o then befriend my jean!
what bursting anguish tears my heart;
from thee, my jeany, must i part!
thou, weeping, answ'rest—“no!”
alas! misfortuares my face,
and points to ruin and disgrace,
i for thy sake must go!
thee, hamilton, and aiken dear,
a grateful, warm adieu:
i, with a mudebted tear,
shall still remember you!
all hail then, the gale then,
wafts me from thee, dear shore!
it rustles, and whistles
i'll never see thee more!
