THE EMIGRANT'S FAREWELL.
1!Y MRS. CECILIA MA HI A HOSE. Look at me, yiy.vy darling, And cast avvav this ibar, I do "but go to cam the gold, I could not-win thee here. Don't lot mo leave tlice, Mary, With the memory of theso'tears To weigh like lead upon my heart Through all the absent years. God gave mo a stout heart, love, And strong and willing hands; The health and strength He's blessed nie with Are better than broad lfmds ; I'll ask His blessing on my toil, So hav-i no fears for hie; We'll share a sunny home together, Though it beyond the sea. We shall speak of otir sad parting In those tranquil years to come; And its sorrow will but make us ptize The more that happy home. Tlioro are hills as blue as these, Mary, Swift streams as clear and bright, And tho thought that wo shall part no nu re Will make our labours light. You'll think of me, my Mary, But not with grief or pain; Hope shall shed sunshine on ouv hearts Till we can meet again. That thou may'at dwell in peace and he i:lh fjfr •Khali bo my constant prayer; That smile will cheer me on my way— God keep thee in His caro! Auckland, January 113 th, ISGI.
