Song: Farewell to Eliza

FROM thee, Eliza, I must go,And from my native shore;The cruel fates between us throwA boundless ocean’s roar:But boundless oceans, roaring wide,Between my love and me,They never, never can divideMy 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!
