FLOBA’S ALBUM. 17 
Bilberry. 
A species of whortleberry. An elegant fruit-bearing 
plant. 
TREACHERY. 
Be it so! we part forever! 
Let the past as nothing be ; 
Had I only loved thee, never 
Hadst thou been thus dear to me. 
Pride may cool what passion heated, 
Time will tame the wayward will; 
But the heart in friendship cheated 
Throbs with woe’s most maddening thrill. 
More than woman thou wast to me; 
Not as man I looked on thee; — 
Why like woman then undo me ? 
Why “ heap man’s worst curse on me ” ? 
Live ! and when my life is over. 
Should thine own be lengthened long, 
Thou may’st then, too late, discover 
By thy feelings, all my wrong. 
But’t is useless to upbraid thee 
With thy past or present state ; 
"What thou wast, my fancy made thee ; 
What thou art, I know too late. Byeon,
