that friendship e'er should end ! Mine eyes are dim with thronging tears, My heart beats with tumultuous fears ; Alas ! that friendship e'er should end ! I thought that, bound in its bland chain, Our youthful hearts were one, not twain, And nothing could them sever ; I thought that nought true friendship parts, And that you might divide the dreadful main, Sooner than linked hearts Could be divided ever. (133) I was deceived : with heart all cold to me, He passed o'er the great ocean-wave, Witho...ut a tear without a sigh And I remain in gloom and misery, While tear on tear my pallid cheek doth lave. This flood of tears I cannot all assuage : Thou heartless dullard that look'st o'er this page, And smiles, yea, laughs at sensibility, And scorns the burning tears I shed O'er broken hopes o'er friendship dead. Touch not my page with thy cold, selfish hand : Thou know'st not heart-felt amity Thou know'st not what it is to mourn O'er friendship's melancholy urn : Begone ! lay down the book, Give me no more that worldling's look : Weep, weep, I fear I must, Until I turn to dust, Until life's fragile glass hath trickled down its sand.
