Part 12 — WHEN EYES ARE BEAMING;

OR THE

FAREWELL SONG,

WRITTEN BY HEBER,

AND RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO

MISS M. BARRY,

BY M. KELLER.

PRESENTED BY J. G. OSBOURN, NO. 112 SOUTH THIRD STREET, PHILAD’A

When eyes are beaming,

What never tongue might tell,

When tears are streaming

From their crystal cell,

When hands are link’d that

dread to part,

And heart is met by throbbing heart,

Oh! bitter, bitter is the smart

Of them that bid farewell! farewell!

Second Verse.

When hope is chidden

That fain of bliss would tell,

And love forbidden

In the heart to dwell;

When fetter’d by a viewless chain,

We turn and gaze, and turn again,

Oh! death were mercy to the pain,

Of them that bid farewell!
