ADIEU, MY FRIEND.

---

Adieu, my friend, time steals away
 Too quickly while I talk with thee
But when these lips shall cease to move,
 Ah! say, wilt thou remember me?

Adieu, my friend,—yes, we must part,
 No longer must I list to thee;
But when e ear shall cease to hear,
 Ah! say, wilt thou remember me?

Adieu, my friend, I must away,
 No longer must I look on thee;
But when mine eye shall cease to gaze,
 Ah! say, wilt thou remember me?

Adieu, my friend,—yes, fare thee well,
 How often shall I think on thee!
I never, never can forget,—
 Say, wilt thou thus remember me?
