Farewell! Farewell! the voice you hear, br Has left its last soft tone with you,- br Its next must join the seaward cheer, br And shout among the shouting crew. br br The accents which I scarce could form br Beneath your frown's controlling check, br Must give the word, above the storm, br To cut the mast, and clear the wreck. br br The timid eye I dared not raise,- br The hand, that shook when press'd to thine, br Must point the guns upon the chase- br Must bid the deadly cutlass shine.
