SONG, "OH, TEACH ME TO FORGET!"
By the soft blushes on thy cheek,
By thy bright curls of jet,
By each fond vow thy lip could speak—
Oh, teach me to forget!

By the deep lustre of thine eye,
By hopes remembered yet,
By the fond passion of a sigh—
Oh, teach me to forget!

By the sweet music of each tone
That plays o'er memory yet,
By the loved hours for ever flown—
Oh, teach me to forget!

By hopes for ever past away,
By love that lingers yet,
By every trace of love's decay—
Oh, teach me to forget!
