Tune-"Gilderoy."
From thee, Eliza, I must go, / And from my native shore; / The cruel fates between us throw / A boundless ocean's roar: / But boundless oceans, roaring wide, / Between my love and me, / They never, never can divide / My heart and soul from thee.
Farewell, farewell, Eliza dear, / The maid that I adore! / A boding voice is in mine ear, / We part to meet no more! / But the latest throb that leaves my heart, / While Death stands victor by,- / That throb, Eliza, is thy part, / And thine that latest sigh!
