Be this my adieu—
For ever! for ever!
Let me roam where I will, ne'er again shall I view,
Scenes so cherished and fair, friends so kind and so true;
Oh, never! oh, never!
Banished for ever!
Dear land of my birth,
We sever! we sever!
An exile from all I love dearest on earth,
From the smile of my friends, from the home of their hearth—
