'Tis the spot where we parted
Oh! never again
Can its breeze or its blossoms
Awake but to pain.
Ah! as fair is the scene
As it flourish'd before;
But the ray that gave life
Beams in lustre no more.
Thou art gonelike the rainbow
Departed each hue,
That gleam'd for a moment,
Then fled from the view;
I may gaze on the cloud,
The bright shadow pass'd o'er;
But the light of thy form
Shall enchant me no more.
Song.'Tis the spot where we parted
