GAC II AkA \ U ESAAs Farewell go 10 that shadowy land, Where my fathers snmher-N mighty band; I go to the years that have pass'd away, To the ngos that sleep in their silent decay. To the buried joys, to the hopes and the fears, That have smiled on, da,ken'd the yanisl'd years go, and farewell to thee, dreary earth, There's cloud thy joy. there's tear in thy mirh For transient aud faint is thy sunnicst day. And thy visions of glatncss will fade away, And the song and the dance, and the festn are o'cr And the harp's wild music is heard no more. Farewell! since I smiled in infaRcy's bloom, A thousand have gone to the silent tomb A father wseps o'er his cherishd ron, Aud mother lanents for her nursling gone; The sailor-boy sleeps in the briny wave, And the soldier has found an carly grave. Farewell, farewell! for the summer hours Have faded away like the dewy flowers; The bird has flown to warmer cline; The bee has forgotten hor favorite thyme. And winter is here, with his snow-wreath'd brow Farewell! may not abide with ya now. Mortals, go to that shadowy land Where my fathers slumber-a mighty band; Q! ever remember, tO you must como The fatal hour that will seal your doom: Then seek that bright world where the angels dwell- Where years have ending-Farewell, farewell!
