FROM BERMUDA	A
	-
	-
The daylight is gone but before we depart	B
One cup shall go round to the friend of my heart	B
The kindest the dearest oh judge by the tear	C
I now shed while I name him how kind and how dear	D
	-
'Twas thus in the shade of the Calabash Tree	E
With a few who could feel and remember like me	E
The charm that to sweeten my goblet I threw	F
Was a sigh to the past and a blessing on you	F
	-
Oh say is it thus in the mirth bringing hour	G
When friends are assembled when wit in full flower	G
Shoots forth from the lip under Bacchus's dew	F
In blossoms of thought ever springing and new	F
Do you sometimes remember and hallow the brim	H
Of your cup with a sigh as you crown it to him	H
Who is lonely and sad in these valleys so fair	C
And would pine in elysium if friends were not there	C
	-
Last night when we came from the Calabash Tree	E
When my limbs were at rest and my spirit was free	E
The glow of the grape and the dreams of the day	I
Set the magical springs of my fancy in play	I
And oh such a vision as haunted me then	J
I would slumber for ages to witness again	J
The many I like and the few I adore	K
The friends who were dear and beloved before	K
But never till now so beloved and dear	D
At the call of my Fancy surrounded me here	L
And soon oh at once did the light of their smiles	M
To a paradise brighten this region of isles	M
More lucid the wave as they looked on it flowed	N
And brighter the rose as they gathered it glowed	N
Not the valleys Heraean though watered by rills	M
Of the pearliest flow from those pastoral hills	M
Where the Song of the Shepherd primeval and wild	O
Was taught to the nymphs by their mystical child	O
Could boast such a lustre o'er land and o'er wave	P
As the magic of love to this paradise gave	P
	-
Oh magic of love unembellished by you	F
Hath the garden a blush or the landscape a hue	F
Or shines there a vista in nature or art	B
Like that which Love opes thro' the eye to the heart	B
	-
Alas that a vision so happy should fade	Q
That when morning around me in brilliancy played	Q
The rose and the stream I had thought of at night	R
Should still be before me unfadingly bright	R
While the friends who had seemed to hang over the stream	S
And to gather the roses had fled with my dream	S
	-
But look where all ready in sailing array	I
The bark that's to carry these pages away	I
Impatiently flutters her wing to the wind	T
And will soon leave these islets of Ariel behind	T
What billows what gales is she fated to prove	U
Ere she sleep in the lee of the land that I love	V
Yet pleasant the swell of the billows would be	E
And the roar of those gales would be music to me	E
Not the tranquillest air that the winds ever blew	F
Not the sunniest tears of the summer eve dew	F
Were as sweet as the storm or as bright as the foam	W
Of the surge that would hurry your wanderer home	W
