Fare thee well! the dream is o'er; Loved one fare thee well! Tears and vows deceive no more, When broken every spell. Stars that fade in morning light, Suns that set shall rise; But no dawn illumes the night, When Hope's last glimmer dies! Oh! lay me where the willows weep, On some dreary shore; Calm shall be that colder sleep, Life's dark vision o'er. Though earthly joys for ever fled, Yet mercy whispers nigh, Immortal life beyond the dead, And bliss beyond the sky.
