TO SARAH J———.
My Sarah, when away from thee
My wand'ring steps are doom'd to stray,
Say wilt thou ever think of me
Who love thee still though far away?
My wand'ring steps are doom'd to stray,
Say wilt thou ever think of me
Who love thee still though far away?
I know not by what secret chain
My willing heart was drawn to thee;
It seem'd as though some prior claim
Entitled thee to love from me.
My willing heart was drawn to thee;
It seem'd as though some prior claim
Entitled thee to love from me.
Surely, dear girl, we were design'd
In friendship's bands enthrall'd to be;
Our hearts by sympathy are join'd;
Our feelings, thoughts, and words agree.
