Lines to Miss C. T. P.
Farewell, proud girl—no more this heart
Shall beat with love for thee;
Too long hast thou the trifler played;
Thy scorn hath made me free.
Upon the breeze of slander borne,
Is heard thy once loved name;
Each echo tells thy falsehood o'er—
Each tongue repeats thy shame.
Another's arm has clasped thy waist—
His lips have toyed with thine;
Thy fond caress has sealed thy fate,
They never can be mine.
I loved thee once, for, oh, I thought
That I was loved by thee;
That fond, delusive spell is broke,
Now nought art thou to me.
Then fare thee well—all may be blest.
My vows thou'lt hear no more,
Thy charms are gone—the chain is riven.
Thy beauty's reign is o'er.
