When we last parted, thou wert young and fair,
How beautiful let fond rememberance say!
Alas! since then old time has stolen away
Full nine years, leaving my temples bare.-
So has it perished like a thing of air,
The dream of love and youth!-now both are grey
Yet still remembering that delightful day,
Though time with her cold touch has blanched my hair,
Though I may have suffered many years of pain
Since then, though I did never think to live
To hear that voice or see those eyes again,
I can sad but cordial greeting give,
And for thy welfare breathe a warm prayer-
As when I loved thee young and fair
