Last Words
I knew not 'twas so dire a crime
To say the word "Adieu"
But this shall be the only time
My lips and heart shall sue
That wild hill side, the winter morn
The gnarled and ancient tree
If in your breast they waken scorn
Shall wake the same in me
I can forget black eyes and brows
And lips of falsest charm
If you forget the sacred vows
Those faithless lips could form
If hard commands can tame your love
Or strongest walls can hold
I would not wish to grieve above
A thing so false and cold
And there are bosoms bound to mine
With links both tried and strong
And there are eyes whose lightning shine
Has warmed and blessed me long
Those eyes shall make my only day
Shall set my spirit free
And chase the foolish thoughts away
That mourn your memory
To say the word "Adieu"
But this shall be the only time
My lips and heart shall sue
That wild hill side, the winter morn
The gnarled and ancient tree
If in your breast they waken scorn
Shall wake the same in me
I can forget black eyes and brows
And lips of falsest charm
If you forget the sacred vows
Those faithless lips could form
If hard commands can tame your love
Or strongest walls can hold
I would not wish to grieve above
A thing so false and cold
And there are bosoms bound to mine
With links both tried and strong
And there are eyes whose lightning shine
Has warmed and blessed me long
Those eyes shall make my only day
Shall set my spirit free
And chase the foolish thoughts away
That mourn your memory
