Since thou wilt banish me, br A long and last adieu! br This heart shall cherish thee, br Though ne'er those hopes renew br That once thy kindness bade me know, br And now thy falsehood turns to woe. br br Since all the joy I've known, br And all the vows you made, br For ever now are flown, br As transient as a shade; br Oh! may thy fate as happy be br As that which seemed to shine on me.
