Where is thy :place ~f blissful rest? See'st thou thy lover l~wly laid? Hearest thc>U the gr~ans that rend his breast? That sacred hour can I forget, Can I f~rget the hallowed fl,r'Jve, Where by the winding Ays we met, T'J live 'Jne day of :parting love! Eternity will not efface, Those records near 'Jf transports :past; Thy image at 'JUr last embrace! Ah! 'little thougbt" we it was our last!

Still over these scenes my memory wakes, And fond.ly oro'Jds with miser cares; Time out the impression deeper makes, As streams their channels deeper wear. My Mary, dear departed shade!

Hearest thou the groans that rends his ore/Elt? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
