Seest thou thy lover, lowly laid?

Hear’st thou the groans, that rend his breast?

That sacred hour—can I forget,

Can I forget the hallow’d grove,

Where, by the winding Ayr we met,

To live one day of parting love!

Eternity—will not efface

Those records dear, of transports past;

Thy image, at our last embrace!

Ah! little thought I ’twas our last!
