thomson's edward and eleanora.

farewell, old scotia's bleak domains,

far dearer than the torrid plains,

where rich ananas blow!

farewell, a mother's blessing dear!

a borther's sigh! a sister's tear!

my jean's heart-rending throe!

farewell, my bess! tho' thou'rt bereft

of my paternal care.

a faithful brother i have left,

my part in him thou'lt share!

adieu, too, to you too,

my smith, my bosom frien';

when kindly you mind me,

o then befriend my jean!

what bursting anguish tears my heart;

from thee, my jeany, must i part!

thou, weeping, answ'rest—“no!”

alas! misfortune stares my face,

and points to ruin and disgrace,

i for thy sake must go!

thee, hamilton, and aiken dear,

a grateful, warm adieu:

i, with a much-indebted tear,

shall still remember you!

all hail then, the gale then,

wafts me from thee, dear shore!

it rustles, and whistles

i'll never see thee more!
