"Hail And Faeewell."
"HAIL AND FAEEWELL . "
"HAIL ancl farewell ! " We meet to part Even with the greeting on our lips . As those who from some busy mart See all their wealth go out in ships
That never come again to shore , So fade our days to rise no more . Our three-score years are but a span , AVe scarcely trill an idle song , Before the funeral army ' s van
Passes with muffled drums along , And sadly then the doleful bell Moans in the palsied ear , " Farewell !"
" Hail and farewell . '" The stars go down ; The billows of the rosy dawn Are breaking on the idle town , The night ' s weird armies , far withdrawn , Fade like dim spectres down the . west
, And hope is strong ancl love is best . Tes , hope is strong in newer souls , And love is best for those that stay . No more my ship at anchor rolls ,
And yours is sailing fast away ; I lose you , for the ocean ' s swell Breaks now between us . " Hail , farewell . ' "
The lamp goes out , the embers die , Pale Dian tips her silver keel In some far-hidden reach of sky , While night and darkness round us steal , ¦ And sorrow sits on every sail :
We cry "Farewell ! " but whisper "Hail !" Beyond the ocean , where the palms Arise beside the jocund streams , Ancl love rehearses all his psalms , And youth renews his happy dreams , If I may wait your coming sad , How blessed then the cheerful " Hail !"
