thomson's edward and eleanora.

    farewell, old scotia's bleak domains,

    far dearer than the torrid plains,

    where rich ananas blow!

    farewell, a mother's blessing dear!

    a borther's sigh! a sister's tear!

    my jean's heart-rending throe!

    farewell, my bess! tho' thou'rt bereft

    of my paternal care.

    a faithful brother i have left,

    my part in him thou'lt share!

    adieu, too, to you too,

    my smith, my bosom frien';

    when kindly you mind me,

    o then befriend my jean!

    what bursting anguish tears my heart;

    from thee, my jeany, must i part!

    thou, weeping, answ'rest—“no!”

    alas! misfortune stares my face,

    and points to ruin and disgrace,

    i for thy sake must go!

    thee, hamilton, and aiken dear,

    a grateful, warm adieu:

    i, with a much-indebted tear,

    shall still remember you!

    all hail then, the gale then,

    wafts me from thee, dear shore!

    it rustles, and whistles

    i'll never see thee more!
