Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - The TrystCaroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - The Tryst
Work rating: Low


I. I went, alone, to the old familiar place Where we often met,-- When the twilight soften`d thy bright and radiant face And the sun had set. All things around seem`d whispering of the past, With thine image blent-- Even the changeful spray which the torrent cast As it downward went! I stood and gazed with a sad and heavy eye On the waterfall-- And with a shouting voice of agony On thy name did call! II. With a yearning hope, from my wrung and aching heart I call`d on thee-- And the lonely echoes from the rocks above They answer`d me! Glad and familiar as a household word Was that cherish`d name But in that grieving hour, faintly heard, `T was not the same! Solemn and sad, with a distant knelling cry, On my heart it fell-- `T was as if the word "Welcome" had been answer`d by The word "FAREWELL!"
