Composed by H.F. WILLIAMS. 1840. [Listen] [PDF] [XML] Copyright by O. Ditson & Co. Used by permission. 1. Lauriett!
Ah! my dearest,
I will often think of thee,
When far, far away o'er the deep and gloomy sea;
Lauriett, thou'lt ne'er forget the happy morn when first we met,
When I saw and lov'd thee dearly;
My charming Lauriett,
When I saw and lov'd sincerely,
My charming Lauriett.
But thou, thou wilt ne'er forget me,
Ah no, thou wilt not forsake me,
For thee, my love, my life, my dearest,
I ne'er will forget.
2. Fare thee well:
Ah! my dearest,
Wilt thou often think of me,
When I'm far from my home, yes, my love, when far from thee;
Lauriett, Ah! canst thou tell the grief that in my heart doth dwell,
For my love, we soon must sever;
But say, love, ere we part,
Wilt thou be mine forever?
Are we but one in heart?
Once more my love wilt thou embrace me,
For hark! the signal calls to duty,
I must away my love, and leave thee,
Fare well, fare thee well.
