MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
For the Rural New-Yorker. 
FAREWELL. 
Fast the hours are fleeing, mother, 
Must I say farewell so soon— 
Must I leave the home of childhood 
E'er my life has reached its noon ? 
O, my weary heart is breaking, 
Tears have ceased to bring relief, 
Words may never tell the anguish 
Of this first and bitter grief. 
Mother, fold your arms about me 
Onae again ere I depart; 
Let me hear your tones of music 
Falling gently on my heart. 
O, when in the land of strangers 
I shall miss that voice so mild, 
Wile thou still at eve and morning 
Pray for blessings on thy child ? 
O, when thoughtfulness comes o’er thee 
Shall I ever claim a tear ? 
Now upon thy heart I’m resting 
Shall my place be ever here ? 
Surely thou wilt ne’er forget me! 
Though I have been vain and wild; 
O, X know thy gentle spirit 
Blesses still thy wayward child. 
But I'll dash away the tear-drops 
And my lip shall wear a smile, 
Though my heart is madly throbbing, 
’Neath its weight of grief the while. 
’Tis the world's first, bitter lesson, 
Far from home and thee to go; 
We shall meet again, my mother, 
But oil! shall we meet below ?
