Farewell Thou Stream

  farewell thou stream

  air—“nansie's to the greenwood gane.”

  farewell, thou stream that winding flows

  around eliza's dwelling;

  o mem'ry! spare the cruel thoes

  within my bosom swelling.

  condemn'd to drag a hopeless chain

  and yet in secret languish;

  to feel a fire in every vein,

  nor dare disclose my anguish.

  love's veriest wretch, unseen, unknown,

  i fain my griefs would cover;

  the bursting sigh, th' unweeting groan,

  betray the hapless lover.

  i know thou doom'st me to despair,

  nor wilt, nor canst relieve me;

  but, o eliza, hear one prayer—

  for pity's sake forgive me!

  the music of thy voice i heard,

  nor wist while it enslav'd me;

  i saw thine eyes, yet nothing fear'd,

  till fears no more had sav'd me:

  th' unwary sailor thus, aghast

  the wheeling torrent viewing,

  'mid circling horrors sinks at last,

  in overwhelming ruin.
