'TIS o'er! the tender tie is broke
Which bound my heart so close to thee;
Though painful, though severe the stroke,
I now can smile that I am free.
The grief, the sorrow, and the woe
That I was called to undergo,
The bitter pangs, the heartfelt pain,
All, all have ceased their tyrant reign.
'Twas but a moment's pain, 'tis gone;
I'm happy, though unhappy now;
