<h5 id="id02268">(HUNGARIAN AIR.)</h5>
<p id="id02269" style="margin-top: 2em">So warmly we met and so fondly we parted,<br/>
That which was the sweeter even I could not tell,—<br/>
That first look of welcome her sunny eyes darted,<br/>
Or that tear of passion, which blest our farewell.<br/>
To meet was a heaven and to part thus another,—<br/>
Our joy and our sorrow seemed rivals in bliss;<br/>
Oh! Cupid's two eyes are not liker each other<br/>
In smiles and in tears than that moment to this.<br/></p>
<p id="id02270">The first was like day-break, new, sudden, delicious,—<br/>
The dawn of a pleasure scarce kindled up yet;<br/>
The last like the farewell of daylight, more precious,<br/>
More glowing and deep, as 'tis nearer its set.<br/>
Our meeting, tho' happy, was tinged by a sorrow<br/>
To think that such happiness could not remain;<br/>
While our parting, tho' sad, gave a hope that to-morrow<br/>
Would bring back the blest hour of meeting again.<br/></p>
