Since now the hour is come at last | B |
When you must quit your anxious lover | C |
Since now our dream of bliss is past | B |
One pang my girl and all is over | C |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Alas that pang will be severe | D |
Which bids us part to meet no more | E |
Which tears me far from one so dear | D |
Departing for a distant shore | E |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Well we have pass'd some happy hours | F |
And joy will mingle with our tears | G |
When thinking on these ancient towers | F |
The shelter of our infant years | H |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Where from this Gothic casement's height | I |
We view'd the lake the park the dell | J |
And still though tears obstruct our sight | I |
We lingering look a last farewell | J |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
O'er fields through which we us'd to run | K |
And spend the hours in childish play | L |
O'er shades where when our race was done | K |
Reposing on my breast you lay | L |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Whilst I admiring too remiss | M |
Forgot to scare the hovering flies | N |
Yet envied every fly the kiss | M |
It dar'd to give your slumbering eyes | N |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
See still the little painted bark | O |
In which I row'd you o'er the lake | P |
See there high waving o'er the park | O |
The elm I clamber'd for your sake | P |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
These times are past our joys are gone | Q |
You leave me leave this happy vale | R |
These scenes I must retrace alone | S |
Without thee what will they avail | R |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Who can conceive who has not prov'd | T |
The anguish of a last embrace | U |
When torn from all you fondly lov'd | V |
You bid a long adieu to peace | W |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
This is the deepest of our woes | X |
For this these tears our cheeks bedew | V |
This is of love the final close | Y |
Oh God the fondest last adieu | V |
George Gordon Byron
