WHEN I in death departed Lie dark and all deserted, Forget not thy last love; but when the bright day It never more can waken Oh! then a passing thought give To her that's away When vespers sweet are hymning, And shadows deep are dimming, And night's dews are weeping the sun's vanish'd ray, Then by the bright hearth blazing, On beauty's circle gazing, Wilt thou a passing sigh breathe For her that's away? When summer bright discloses Her gay and garden roses, And smiles o'er the land in her fairest array ; A world, where all is blooming, Think then upon the pale flower And when the year is waning, And Nature's wan beauty is touch'd with decay; The faded things will tell thee Of her that's away.
