Reading edition
A BALLAD.
THE POETRY BY MISS PARDOE, THE MUSIC BY DAVID LEE.
Selected for Graham’s Magazine by J. G. Osbourn.
Write to me, love,
When thou art far away,
Write every thought which glances o’er thy mind,—
Write to me, love,
And let thy fond words say,
All that may spirit unto Spirit bind!
Write to me, love,
Write to me;
Write to me, love,
Write to me!
Write to me, love,
And let each glowing line
Teem with the vows we have so often ta’en.
Write to me, love,
And when the treasure’s mine,
Resume thy task, and write to me again.
Write to me, love,
Write to me;
Write to me, love,
Write to me!
