FAREWELL TO LAFAYETTE.
The Muse that hail’d thy coming,
And woo’d the fates for thcp;
'J'he Hard that sung thy welcome,
In humble minstrelsy;—
That saw the nation meet thee.
And hail thee as its guest;
And joyous millions greet thee,
With welcome to the west.
Now see the ship in waiting.
Far down the sea-like ba\,—
The last shore-boat api)roachin'g,—
'I’hat bears thee far aw ay :
And now' they bid in sadness.
While high their bo.soms sw’ell.
To him they hailed in gladness,
A long, a l ist farewell.
With thee upon the ocean,
A people’s blessings go.
Like oil upon the waters.
To smooth thy [)ath of wo j
And since no more in gladness,
I'heir guest with them can dwell.
Their sighs, in silent sadness.
Bid him a fond farewell.
Our sires and sons shall hies# thee.
Till time’s last sun shall set j
Our little one’s first lesson
Shall be lisp “ Fayette
W'e welcoai’d thee in gladness,
And bade the triumph swell j
And now, in lovelorn sadness,
Uid thee a long farewell.
But hope, in secret whispers.
Says we shall meet again ;
That thou’it return, and with us
Thy rest of life remain.
O! be it so, ami ever
W itii friends and fi’eemcn dwell j
Uut if we part forever.
Forever fare thee well. rYxniAt.
