Farewell To Eliza

Title:     Farewell To Eliza
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

Tune--"Gilderoy."

From thee, Eliza, I must go,
And from my native shore;
The cruel fates between us throw
A boundless ocean's roar:
But boundless oceans, roaring wide,
Between my love and me,
They never, never can divide
My heart and soul from thee.

Farewell, farewell, Eliza dear,
The maid that I adore!
A boding voice is in mine ear,
We part to meet no more!
But the latest throb that leaves my heart,
While Death stands victor by,--
That throb, Eliza, is thy part,
And thine that latest sigh!

1786
