A Farewell to the North Shore 
By ROBERT J. MILNE 
FAREWELL to the Shore! I must hasten away ; 
For my home in the city, I’m leaving today. 
The summer is over, too short has it been, 
By the sea and the beach and the woodlands so green. 
But the joys I have known, in my heart shall remain 
Till | come with the summer and sunshine again; _ 
With the flowers in bloom, and the leaves on the trees, 
And the scent of the pines on the wings of the breeze. 
I came to-the beach when the roses were young— 
When the nesting bird heard the sweet songs that were 
sung 
By her mate in the boughs of the maple tree high, 
As he carolled his notes to the clear sunny sky. 
And pale were my cheeks from the city that day; 
But the health of your breezes soon chased them away— 
For the bloom of the rose, and the tan of the sea, 
Are the colors thy summer hath painted on me. 
In my home in the city—when winter is here, 
And the snowflakes are falling, and everything drear, 
When the cold is at zero, or winter winds roar— 
V’ll think of the pine woods along the North Shore— 
I’ll think of the beach where the wavelets at play 
Made music to me through the long summer day. 
Yes, I'll dream of the summer ’way down by the sea, 
For its memory, a joy and a pleasure will be. 
I’ll come back again when the roses are red, 
To breathe of the sweets of the fragrance they shed. 
And the heart, that was weary the winter months 
long, 
Will be cheered by the sound of the robin in song; 
And the sight of the beach, with its waters so blue, 
Will lure me to pleasures and joys that are new. 
For my senses are stirred at the sound of the sea, 
And the voice of the waters is music to me. 
’Tis thus as we travel through life’s weary way, 
There are joys that we feel which can never decay. 
There are memories which linger, though years may have 
flown, 
Of friendships renewed by the scenes we have known. 
And I feel in my heart, at this parting from thee, 
Thy joys and thy raptures will linger with me. 
As I am reluctantly bidding adieu 
To the woods and the beach and the waters so blue.
